Impaired mitochondrial function causes cellular energy failure, preventing fat burning and leading to lipid droplet accumulation.

“when the cell can't properly make energy the cell begins to fall apart we need an energy to do ever all cellular functions there there are right and this is I think you know number one is is not you've now you've paralyzed cellular processes you also can not properly burn fat for fuel is what I believe and then you're and so then you'd actually begin to store you know lipid droplets in the cell that can no longer properly be burned for fuel because they can't be they can't run through the elect you know the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain properly”
