The team also found signs of cellular energy dysfunction in patients (changes in AMP/ADP and ATP production), pointing in the same direction as Maureen Hanson’s findings: metabolic dysfunction in the biology of the disease.

Research team from Norway finds evidence that #MECFS
involves energy dysfunction, immune disturbances, and vascular changes.

Forskning fra Cornell University, USA:
MECFS patienter udviser vedvarende og afvigende ændringer i immun-, energi- og stressrelaterede proteiner, som raske ikke gør.

Ny forskning fra USA:
Personer med #MECFS får langvarige forstyrrelser i immunforsvar, stofskifte og muskelfunktion efter fysisk aktivitet.
Belastning udløser målbare ændringer i tusindvis af proteiner, som hænger sammen med symptomer og nedsat ydeevne.
