Research: Metabolomic evidence for peroxisomal dysfunction in ME/CFS

Metabolomic evidence for peroxisomal dysfunction in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome   Research conclusion: Our findings provide the first metabolomic evidence of peroxisomal dysfunction, and are consistent with dysregulation of lipid remodeling and the tricarboxylic acid cycle. These findings, if validated … Continue reading
