Metabolic dysfunction can be caused by a variety of factors including:
- Genetic Disorders: Mutations in genes involved in metabolic pathways can lead to conditions like phenylketonuria or Wilson's disease. - Nutritional Imbalances: Deficiencies or excesses of nutrients can disrupt metabolic processes. - Toxins and Drugs: Exposure to toxic substances or certain medications can impair metabolic functions. - Chronic Diseases: Conditions like obesity, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia are common causes of metabolic dysfunction.
