The 11ea8d43_aba6_775c_b445_2f30e6dbc792_TB6697_11_TB6697_11-oxidation of mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids involves isomerization and in some cases reduction of the double bonds before the continuation of 11ea8d43_aba6_775e_b445_d79e68d5dd2a_TB6697_11_TB6697_11-oxidation. This is because unsaturated fatty acids have double bonds that need to be converted to single bonds before they can be fully oxidized. Isomerization and reduction are necessary steps in this process. The pathway does not require an extra cycle, and it does not yield succinyl-CoA.
