ELIZABETH LANDT / Staff MITOCHONDRIAL DISORDERS Energy for our bodies is created within our cells. This massive job is handled by the mitochondria. When these tiny guys can't do their job, our whole body suffers. Normal mitochondrion 1. Mitochondria are tiny power plants inside human cells that convert food into energy. 2. If the mitochondria are not working properly, the cell does not get the energy it needs to do its work within the body. Diagram includes a cell containing normal and dysfunctional mitochondrion; the inside of a normal mitochondrian; its Energy-producing particles; DNA. Organ systems: 3. The brain, heart and lungs require the most energy to function properly. If they don't have adequate energy, these organs begin to fail. Symptoms vary depending on the part of the body involved. —- Possible symptoms Mitochondrial disorders are rare. Not everyone who has these symptoms has dysfunctional mitochondria. Brain: Developmental delays, seizures, autistic features, migraines, atypical cerebral palsy Eyes and ears: Visual or hearing loss, degeneration of retina cells Heart: Heart blocks, Cardiomyopathy Muscles: Weakness, cramping, gastrointestinal problems, muscle pain Liver: Low blood sugar, liver failure Kidneys: Failure to excrete acid or wasting Pancreas and other glands: Diabetes and inability to make digestive enzymes, low calcium Nerves: Weakness (may be intermittent), fainting, Chronic nerve pain Systemic: Failure to gain weight, fatigue, unexplained vomiting, short stature, respiratory problems Mitochondrian disorders generally involve three or more organ systems and in some cases produces symptoms similar to autism.
