Lipid Metabolism Disorder

Lipid metabolism disorders such as Gauche disease and Tay-Sachs disease, involve lipids. Lipids are fats or fat-like substances. They include oils, fatty acids, waxes, and cholesterol. If you have one of these disorders, you may not have enough enzymes to break down lipids or the enzymes may not work properly and your body can't convert the fats into energy. They cause a harmful amount of lipids to build up in your body. Over time, these can damage your cells and tissues, especially in brain, peripheral nervous system, liver, spleen, and bone marrow. disorders can be very serious, or sometimes even fatal. Enzyme replacement therapies can help with a few of these disorders.
