Fatty acids (FAs) can be degraded via different mechanisms including a-, b- and x-oxidation. In humans, a range of different genetic diseases has been identified in which either mitochondrial FAb-oxidation, peroxisomal FAb-oxidation or FAa-oxidation is impaired. Treatment options for most of these disorders are limited. | IFEBS Journal MINIREVIEW Fatty acid omega-oxidation as a rescue pathway for fatty acid oxidation disorders in humans Ronald J. A.

In humans a range of different genetic diseases has been identified in which either mitochondrial FA b-oxidation peroxisomal FA b-oxidation or FA a-oxidation is impaired. Treatment options for most of these disorders are limited. This has prompted us to study FA x-oxida-tion as a rescue pathway for these disorders based on the notion that if the x-oxidation of specific FAs could be upregulated one could reduce the accumulation of these FAs and the subsequent detrimental effects in the different groups of disorders. In this minireview we describe our current state of knowledge in this area with special emphasis on Refsum disease and X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy. Introduction In general fatty acids FAs can be degraded via different mechanisms including a- b- and x-oxidation Fig. 1 . In humans a-oxidation takes place in peroxisomes only whereas both peroxisomes and mitochondria are able to b-oxidize FAs. Importantly in recent years a great number of genetically determined disorders in humans has been described in which either FA a-oxidation or FA b-oxidation in mitochondria or peroxisomes is deficient. As discussed in more detail below treatment .
