Figure 1 Odd-chain β-oxidation of pentadecanoic acid culminates in propionyl-CoA, which is carboxylated to succinyl-CoA and converted to succinate, thereby replenishing the tricarboxylic-acid cycle. Even-chain palmitate yields only acetyl-CoA and supplies no succinate; net stoichiometric difference is +1 succinate per mole pentadecanoic acid oxidized. C15:0: Pentadecanoic acid; C16:0: Palmitic acid; FAD: Flavin adenine dinucleotide; FADH2: Dihydroflavine-adenine dinucleotide; NAD: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide; NADH: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide; TCA: Tricarboxylic acid.
