Lipids or fats are one of the macronutrients in our diet fromwhich we obtain energy. Our bodies maintain an energy balance bybreaking fat down when we need it and storing it when we have anexcess. Specific enzymes play crucial roles in the process of lipidmetabolism, and mutations can and do occur in these enzymesaffecting the ways in which they do their jobs, as well as theirfinal products. Niemann-Pick Disease, Gaucher's Disease (Type 1,Type 2, or Type 3) and Tay-Sachs Disease are disorders or lipidmetabolism. Select one of them and discuss how lipid metabolism isaffected, particularly which enzyme(s), and how the body isaffected.
