Fatty acids undergo beta-oxidation via acyl-CoA dehydrogenase to enter the Krebs cycle to be used as energy. B2 is a cofactor. Fat breakdown – via beta-oxidation → fatty acids → acetyl-CoA. Increased percent fat intake can increase fatty acid markers. Carnitine is needed for LCFA to enter the cell: Low levels of methionine or lysine, a vitamin C deficiency or kidney dialysis, can lead to carnitine shortages.
Pimelic acid originating from fatty acid synthesis pathway is a bona fide precursor of biotin in B. subtilis.

Lower C7 (pimelic acid) and C8 (suberic acid), and higher C4 (succinic acid) and C5 (glutaric acid) were associated with more efficient energy balance and better oxidative stress handling in Alzheimer’s disease research.

Pimelic acid originating from fatty acid synthesis pathway is a bona fide precursor of biotin in B. subtilis.
Pimelic acids are excreted in elevated amounts in urine in disorders of mitochondrial beta-oxidation and disorders of peroxisomal beta-oxidation, for which they are of significant diagnostic value.
