FATTY ACID METABOLISM - University of Guelph

Pathway The contribution of fatty acid -oxidation to overall cardiac oxidative energy metabolism is very dynamic and can range from almost 100% of the total energy require-ment of the heart to being a minor contributor (46, 428, 449, 450, 538). An overview of the fatty acid -oxidative pathway is shown in Figure 2. Fatty acid use by the heart ................
