1/ Plasmalogen Deficiency, Microglial Activation & Their Role in ME/CFS and Long COVID 🧪 Article: healthrising.org/blog/2023/07/2…
2/ Dr. Marie-Eve Tremblay, a renowned Canadian researcher, explores the overlap between Long Covid symptoms & ME/CFS. The model combines inflammation, microglial activation, and a new factor: plasmalogen deficiency.
3/ Microglia, the brain's immune cells, become hyperactive due to inflammation. This leads to excessive reactions and potential damage to cell membranes. Such deficiencies have been linked to several neurodegenerative diseases.
4/ The article suggests oxidative stress might damage plasmalogens in ME/CFS. A study from Ian Lipkin's group found connections between plasmalogen deficiency, peroxisome issues, reduced carnitine levels, & impaired mitochondrial function.
5/ Poor energy production in ME/CFS might weaken the immune system's response. "Plasmalogen replacement therapy" (PRT) is a potential treatment, though untested for ME/CFS or long COVID.
6/ Supplements like ProdomeNeuro aim to boost plasmalogen levels. However, they can be pricey. The research emphasizes plasmalogens' potential significance in treating ME/CFS and long COVID.
7/ Recommended Supplements:
