Abstract
Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is associated with various symptoms, such as depression, pain, and fatigue. To date, the pathological mechanisms and therapeutics remain uncertain.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of myelophil (MYP)...
Objective: To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on the expression of NF-κB p65 in hippocampus and the morphology of hippocampus in rats with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), so as to explore its mechanism in improving cognitive dysfunction of CFS.
Methods: Forty-eight SD rats were...

Background
Fibromyalgia (FM) is characterized by musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep and memory disturbance. There is no definitive cure yet for FM-related health problems. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor’s (PPAR’s) activation is associated with insulin sensitisation and...
Abstract
Background: Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a complex disease with few effective and safe therapies. Young Yum Pill (YYP), a proprietary herbal drug, has been used to relieve CFS-like symptoms. The pharmacological basis of this application of YYP is unknown.

(I hope they have plenty of snacks available for the elephants during their treatment.)
Mouse model = mice they have exhausted through over exercising. Therefore this is of dubious use to us.

I'm interested in diseases of animals that might be similar to ME/CFS, as I think it is likely that humans are not the only mammals to suffer from this disease or collection of diseases.
This morning on the radio (Radio NZ) I heard about a disease called 'Go Slow' which has been affecting dogs...
