noted a "sesamin-induced increase in the gene expression of mitochondrial and peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation enzymes," with the gene expression of peroxisomal acyl-CoA oxidase and bifunctional enzyme primarily affected by sesamin (15% and 50%, respectively).

The role of the carnitine system is to maintain homeostasis in the acyl-CoA pools of the cell, keeping the acyl-CoA/CoA pool constant even under conditions of very high turnover of the acyl-CoA (20).

As an obligate carrier for optimal mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation, it is a critical source of energy and also protects the cell from acyl-CoA accretion through the generation of acylcarnitines (4).

Ten disorders accounted for an estimated 100 or more cases (phenylketonuria, 3-methylcrotonylCoA carboxylase deficiency, medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, Hb SS, Hb SC, Hb S/a thalassemia, congenital hypothyroidism, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, galactosemia, and cystic fibrosis).

In an earlier report (3), we indicated that the posterior vacuole had properties of peroxisomes, which function primarily to process very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA) with the assistance of key enzymes, acyl-CoA oxidase (ACOX) and catalase.

Another is MCAD (medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency), a disorder that affects the ability to process fat and may be responsible for up to 10 percent of deaths attributed to sudden infant death syndrome.
Prenatal screening vs newborn screening. (ask the doctor)
The acyl residues are exported to the cytoplasm and converted to acyl-CoA esters by acyl-CoA synthetase, thereby producing substrates that are further elongated in species that produce VLCs and further desaturated in species that produce polyunsaturated fatty acids.
