It should be noted, that all odd chain fatty acids can be oxidized using the same enzymes for even chain fatty acid beta-oxidation. However, unlike even chain fatty acids, odd chain fatty acids will yield ((n-3)/2) Acetyl-CoA and one three carbon acid, Propionyl-CoA, where n is the number of carbons in the odd chain fatty acid. Propionyl-CoA, is then further broken down using the pathway shown below.
