The association of fecal microbiota & fecal, blood serum & urine metabolites 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 →
The role of lactate in ME/CFS & FM
Cort Johnson asks: Lactate – Is it Everywhere in Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)?, 1 March 2016 Lactate (L-lactate) is an organic compound produced during anaerobic energy metabolism. It’s constantly being formed – even when we are at rest … Continue reading →
Oxidative phosphorylation & lactic acid excretion are impaired in severe ME
Case study abstract: Background: In this study the muscle bioenergetic function in response to exercise in severe ME was explored to see if the underlying metabolic problem in ME, responsible for the severe difficulties with trivial exercise, and the severe loss … Continue reading →
Dysfunctional energy metabolism and oxidative stress pathways in CFS
Research abstract: Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a debilitating long-term multisystem disorder with a central and inexplicably persistent fatigue symptom that is unable to be relieved by rest. Energy metabolism and oxidative stress have been recent focal points of … Continue reading →
Assessment of energy metabolism by Serum Fluorescence Emission
Researchers from Witchita Kansas examined the metabolic component of CFS, by determined serum NAD(P)H levels in 44 CFS patients and 30 healthy control subjects by measuring serum fluorescence emission at 450 nm. It was directly correlated with serum coenzyme Q10 … Continue reading →
