已知奇数碳脂酸能和偶数碳脂酸一样在体内进行β-氧化,不同的是奇数碳脂酸氧化后的终末三碳残基-丙酰CoA是生糖的。某些研究工作者曾观察过奇数碳脂酸在动物体内储存和动员情况,并从不同角度研究了体内储存一定量奇数碳脂酸的 It is known that odd-numbered caprlyls can undergo β-oxidation in vivo as well as even-numbered caprylic acid, except that the terminal tri-carbon residue, propionyl-CoA, after oxidation by an odd number of fatty acids is sugary in nature. Some researchers have observed the storage and mobilization of odd-numbered fatty acids in animals, and from different angles studied the storage of a certain amount of odd-numbered fatty acids
