We published new science for an #ME subset! Our 2nd BH4 publication explains why BH4 is elevated in #ME patients with #OrthostaticIntolerance. Using original experiments, we identify 4 important findings: 1/5 #POTS #MECFS 1. Less utilization of oxygen in blood stimulates Non-oxidative Pentose Phosphate Pathway, which could produce high BH4. We studied the effect of hypoxia on the PPP pathway, BH4 and BH2. #ME 2/5

A new publication by Simmaron!
“Potential molecular mechanisms of chronic fatigue in #LongCOVID and other viral diseases”
A hypothesis-driven review article demonstrates a diverse range of inflammatory & metabolic pathways responsible for fatigue of viral origin. 1/5
These 5 viruses (#HHV6, #Powassan, #EBV, #HIV, #SARS-CoV2) trigger unique immunological reactions, yet lead to similar inflammation + muscle fatigue. Examining these pathways can bring light to possible treatments for #mecfs#longcovid.
