Term Name:	L-xylitol catabolic process to xylulose 5-phosphate
Synonyms:	L-arabitol and xylitol degradation, xylitol breakdown to xylulose 5-phosphate, xylitol degradation to xylulose 5-phosphate, xylitol utilization
Definition:	The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of L-xylitol to form xylulose 5-phosphate. L-xylitol is converted into L-xylulose, which is then phosphorylated to L-xylulose-5-phosphate. This is converted to D-xylulose-5-phosphate via the intermediate L-ribulose-5-phosphate.
