Oxidation ATP Yield

When calculating ATP yields from p oxidation, you have to be careful to notice whether you start with the fatty acid or with the fatty acyl- 

Two high-energy phosphate equivalents are required to activate fatty acids to the acyl-CoA. 

All the ATP conies from oxidative phosphorylation coupled to the metabolism of acetyl-CoA by the TCA cycle. No oxygen, no p oxidation.
