Product Description

Fatty acid oxidation plays a central role in energy metabolism, particularly during periods of fasting and stress. Extraordinary progress has been made in the last few years towards understanding the processes of mammalian fatty acid oxidation in mitochondria and peroxizomes. The delineation of inherited disorders in fatty acid oxidation by investigators from around the world has led to a resurgence of both basic and clinical interest. The book offers detailed descriptions of historical and recent research in all aspects of fatty acid oxidation. It is a unique synthesis of information concerning normal and abnormal fatty acid oxidation that includes studies from clinical, biochemical and molecular areas of research.
