Muscle Irregulatities in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Research Brief

People with chronic fatigue syndrome may have impaired transmission of signals between nerves and muscles, according to a study recently published in the International Journal of Immunopathololgy and Pharmacology.

Researchers also discovered that certain genes were expressed differently in chronic fatigue syndrome patients. These genes dealt with:

• Mitochondrial function
• Oxidative balance
• Energy production
• Muscle and fiber irregularities

Researchers believe these processes may be involved in or responsible for the muscle symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome.
