The process of beta oxidation and fatty acid synthesis are regulated in such a manner that neither process is active at the same time. Which of the following enzymes required for beta oxidation is paired with the correct inhibitor? Citrate synthase acetyl CoA or CPT1 malonyl CoA. And why? Explain.

Step 1
On the other hand, fatty acid synthesis is the process by which acetyl-CoA molecules are used to build new fatty acids. To ensure that these two processes do not occur simultaneously, the body regulates them through a feedback mechanism. One of the key enzymes Show more…
