The membrane-enclosed organelles that contain several oxidases involved in the oxidation of fatty acids and amino acids during normal metabolism are called peroxisomes. These organelles play a crucial role in lipid metabolism and the detoxification of harmful substances by breaking down very long-chain fatty acids and producing hydrogen peroxide as a byproduct, which is then further broken down by catalase.
