    In vitro Study of Muscle Aerobic Metabolism in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome 2011 Behan et al

    Abstract The purpose of this study was to establish if muscle aerobic metabolism is abnormal in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Myoblast cultures from muscle biopsies of 16 patients with CFS and 10 healthy controls were established. Micromethods were used to determine the lactate/pyruvate (L/P)...

    Mitochondrial abnormalities in the postviral fatigue syndrome 1991 Behan et al

    Summary We have examined the muscle biopsies of 50 patients who had postviral fatigue syndrome (PFS) for from 1 to 17 years. We found mild to severe atrophy of type II fibres in 39 biopsies, with a mild to moderate excess of lipid. On ultrastructural examination, 35 of these specimens showed...

    SARS-CoV-2 awakens ancient retroviral genes and the expression of proinflammatory HERV-W envelope protein in COVID-19 patients, 2023, Charvet et al.

    :emoji_warning: At this point it's still a preprint. Abstract: As most of you know, in the 80s researchers were excited about several (and separate) finds of retroviral activity in what we now call ME/CFS patients. The main researcher was Elaine DeFreitas, whose finds got dismissed by UK...

    Electrophysiological studies in patients with the post-viral fatigue syndrome, 1985, Jamal and Hansen

    I came across this paper while looking at a Peter Behan paper from 1985. This paper is from his colleagues using Behan's patients. Abstract Single fibre electromyography (SFEMG) was studied in 40 patients with the post-viral fatigue syndrome. These patients were also assessed clinically...
