Microbial fermentation in the gut may affect energy metabolism in ME/CFS

Research abstract: Introduction: The human gut microbiota has the ability to modulate host metabolism. Metabolic profiling of the microbiota and the host biofluids may determine associations significant of a host–microbe relationship. Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a long-term disorder … Continue reading

Probiotic can reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines in ME/CFS

Research abstract Certain therapeutic microbes, including Bifidobacteria infantis (B. infantis) 35624 exert beneficial immunoregulatory effects by mimicking commensal-immune interactions; however, the value of these effects in patients with non-gastrointestinal inflammatory conditions remains unclear. Method: In this study, we assessed the … Continue reading
