Metabolism is the mechanism the body uses to receive or generate energy from the food that you consume. Food contains protein, carbohydrates , and fats. In your digestive system, chemicals break down the food parts into sugars and acids, the fuel for your body. Your body can quickly use this fuel, or it can store the energy in your body tissues, such as your liver , muscles, and body fat. A metabolic disorder occurs when this mechanism is disturbed by irregular chemical reactions in your body. There are different groupings of disorders. Some affect amino acid breakdown, carbohydrate breakdown or lipids. Another community, the mitochondrial diseases, affects the cell parts which produce the energy. In most hereditary metabolic disorders, either the body does not produce a single enzyme at all, or it is produced in a form that does not work. The missing enzyme on assembly line is like an absentee worker. Depending on the job of that enzyme, its absence means that toxic chemicals can develop, or an essential product can not be produced.
