Glycogen Storage DisorderThere are many different things that can go wrong in our body. A metabolic disorder may be one of them. There are many different types that can be fatal if left untreated, while others can be treated but still left to deal with for the rest of life. One disorder may be a glycogen storage disorder which can affect many different age groups, from newborns to the elderly. It deals with the function of the body to obtain its greatest source from which it draws its energy. This is glucose. There are now many different categories that can fall into this. Because the body will store glucose as glycogen and then convert it back, that's where the problem lies. The body of some individuals lacks enzymes or an enzyme necessary for its reconversion. Because some lack enzymes, it's hereditary, meaning you can be born with it. The human body is very fragile in the sense that if one thing goes wrong you can be sure that it will affect everything around it and so on. You may appreciate how well the body can adapt to things. Glycogen storage disorder can lead to death if left untreated in some cases, and even failure of other parts of the body. Metabolic disorder is one that interrupts the metabolism of a person's body. These individuals' bodies have difficulty breaking down certain foods, which will pose a big problem in terms of energy production. This in turn poses a problem for the body, because the total amount of ATP used by the body corresponds to its weight. So each ATP molecule is recycled 1,000 to 1,500 times in a single day. Now if the body cannot break down certain foods due to a metabolic disorder, this will indeed stop the breathing process...... middle of paper ...... th. The test may involve checking your blood sugar, cholesterol, triglycerides, lactic acid, and uric acid. And to check if you are growing and check for liver enlargements.
