<p> 1. '''Lipolysis and release from adipose tissue''': In the initial steps of degradation, fatty acids are stored in adipocytes. The breakdown of adipocytes is called lipolysis (They are released into blood stream to circulate through body.)</p> | <p> 1.

<p> 2. '''Activation and transport into the mitochondria''': The mitochondria is where fatty acid oxidation occurs which activates fatty acids to be carried to the mitochondria. The enzyme responsible for the catalysis of this step is Fatty-Acyl Coa Synthetase. Malonyl ACP is the activated donor of two carbon units in the elongation step which is operated by the release of CO2.</p> | <p> 2.

<p>3. '''Β-oxidation''': Once inside mitochodria, five steps occur: 1) Activation by ATP, 2) Oxydation by FAD, 3) Hydration, 4) Oxydation by NAD+, and 5) Thyolysis. The final product is Acetyl-Coa which is now able to be able to enter the TCA cycle <ref | <p>3.
