The acyl carnitine/carnitine transporter moves acyl-carnitine across the inner membrane of mitochondria via facilitated diffusion(易化擴(kuò)散易化擴(kuò)散). Medium-chain acyl-CoAs seem to enter the matrix by themselves, without being carried by carnitine. The acyl

The 1st oxidation is catalyzed by the membrane-bound acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, converting acyl-CoA to trans- 2-enoyl-CoA with electrons collected by FAD and further transferred into the respiratory chain via the electron-transferring flavoprotein (ETFP), also bound to the inner membran

The complete oxidization of each 16-carbon palmitate (to H2O and CO2) yields 106 ATP (32 ATP per glucose, both having about 60% of actual energy recovery
