The pathways involved in normal β-oxidation of fatty acids. In order to metabolize fatty acids it is first necessary to transport them into the mitochondria. Once inside the mitochondria then β-oxidation can follow. MC-DCA, medium chain dicarboxylic acid; SC-DCA, short chain dicarboxylic acid; CoA-SH, coenzyme A; ETF, electron transfer flavoprotein; ETF-QO, electron transfer flavoprotein ubiquinone, (coenzyme Q) oxidoreductase.

Alternative pathways available for handling fatty acids. When the pathways for β-oxidation are unavailable, cytoplasmic peroxisomes and microsomes are utilized for ω-oxidation of fatty acids. This produces short chain dicarboxylic acids that are eliminated in the urine.
