A broad classification for genetic<unk> s that result from an inability of the body to produce or utilize one enzyme that is required to oxidize<unk> <unk> s. The enzyme can be missing or improperly constructed, resulting in it not working. This leaves the body unable to produce energy within the liver and muscles from<unk> <unk>  sources. The body's primary source of energy is glucose; however, when all the glucose in the body has been expended, a normal body digests fats. Individuals with a<unk>  are unable to metabolize this fat source for energy, halting bodily processes. Most individuals with a<unk>  are able to live a normal active life with simple adjustments to diet and medications. If left undiagnosed many complications can arise. When in need of glucose the body of a person with a<unk>  will still send fats to the liver. The fats are broken down to<unk> <unk> s. The<unk> <unk> s are then transported to the target cells but are unable to be broken down, resulting in a build-up of<unk> <unk> s in the liver and other internal organs.<unk> s are sometimes classified with the lipid metabolism<unk> s, but in other contexts they are considered a distinct category.
