Resumo

The concept of 8-oxidation of fatty acids has been well documented in animal tissues.In 1943 Munoz and Leloir (12) prepared cell-free systems from rat liver that oxidized butyric acid to CO2 and water.Kennedy and Lehninger (10) later showed that the site of fatty acid oxidation is the mitochondrion.Green and his co-workers (15) and Lynen (11) pre- pared soluble enzymes from acetone powders of liver mitochondria and demonstrated the individual steps involved in 8-oxidation of short and long chain satu- rated fatty acids.Until recently, little information was available to
