"In eight cycles of beta-oxidation mediated by the same enzyme activities responsible for the conversion of hexacosanoyl-CoA to tetracosenoyl-CoA, the latter molecule is converted to octanoyl-CoA. Eight molecules each of O2, H2O, NAD+, and CoASH are consumed in the process and eight molecules of H2O2 and NADH + H+ are generated, together with eight molecules of acetyl-CoA (Wanders and Waterham 2006)."^^ . . . . . . "tetracosenoyl-CoA + 8 O2 + 8 H2O + 8 NAD+ + 8 CoASH => octanoyl-CoA + 8 H2O2 + 8 NADH + 8 H+ + 8 acetyl-CoA"^^ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
