A broad classification for genetic disorders that result from an inability of the body to produce or utilize one enzyme that is required to oxidize fatty acids. 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 fatty acid 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.
