Metabolic disorders impair the body's ability to convert food into energy due to enzyme deficiencies or hormonal imbalances. These metabolic disorders can be inherited or acquired. Common example of inherited metabolic disorder is phenylketonuria where the body cannot break down the amino acid phenylalanine and acquired metabolic disorder is diabetes, which involves issues with insulin production or response.
