Beta oxidation process
Fatty acids and glycerol.
When fats are metabolized, they are broken down into molecules called fatty acids and glycerol. These molecules can then be further metabolized into a compound called acetyl-CoA, which enters the citric acid cycle (also known as the Krebs cycle) to produce energy through cellular respiration.
metabolized in the liver
Studies show that it is metabolized in the liver and kidneys.
Yes, calories from different foods are metabolized differently. The source of the calories will effect how they are metabolized.
oxycodone is metabolized by the cytochrome isoenzyme CYP2D6 of the liver
Proteins are first metabolized in the stomach, by the enzyme pepsin.
The significance of transfatty acids in oils is that we cannot metabolize them. Their counterpart is "cis fats", which are curled, but trans fats are straight. Since they aren't metabolized, they're stored in low-density lipids (LDL) -- the "bad" kind of triglycerides on the doctor's lab reports -- which leads to artery disease, heart attacks and strokes.
