Fatty acid oxidation (FAO) is the main pathway of fatty acid decomposition in the body, which can supply a large amount of energy required by the organism. FAO is also the transformation process of fatty acids. The length of fatty acid chain required by the organism is different. Through oxidation, long-chain fatty acids can be transformed into fatty acids with suitable growth degree for the organism metabolism.

The detection principle of this kit: FAO process consumes the substrate and NAD⁺, and generates NADH. Under the action of electron coupling agent and chromogenesis agent, the orange red substance is generated, which can be detected at 450 nm.
