Genetics of circadian rhythms and sleep in human health and disease
Lane JM, Qian J, Mignot E, Redline S, Scheer FAJL, Saxena R
Circadian rhythms and sleep are fundamental biological processes integral to human health. Their disruption is associated with detrimental physiological consequences...
Hot off the press, just published today in Frontiers in Pharmacology. A group of researchers in China used metabolomics (measuring the concentration of many metabolism-related chemicals in the blood) to compare healthy controls with Covid-19 patients who were admitted to Jiaxing Hospital, but...
Lactate: the ugly duckling of energy metabolism
Rabinowitz JD, Enerbäck S
Lactate, perhaps the best-known metabolic waste product, was first isolated from sour milk, in which it is produced by lactobacilli. Whereas microbes also generate other fermentation products, such as ethanol or acetone...
Circulating FGF21 proteolytic processing mediated by fibroblast activation protein
Eugene Y. Zhen, Zhaoyan Jin, Bradley L. Ackermann, Melissa K. Thomas, Jesus A. Gutierrez
Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), a hormone implicated in the regulation of glucose homoeostasis, insulin sensitivity...
Going Back to the Biology of FGF21: New Insights
Jo E. Lewis, Francis J.P. Ebling, Ricardo J. Samms, Kostas Tsintzas
Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a protein highly synthesized in the liver that exerts paracrine and endocrine control of many aspects of energy homeostasis in multiple...
An article from neuroscience news .
Interesting in the metabolism link , given we know of issues with glucose in ME.

Pathogens Hijack Host Cell Metabolism: Intracellular Infection as a Driver of the Warburg Effect in Cancer and Other Chronic Inflammatory Conditions
Amy D. Proal and Michael B. VanElzakker, 2021
This hypothesis piece discusses metabolic shift in a broad range of chronic conditions, but as it...
Interesting review of research on the impact of inflammation on the dopamine system as well as a theoretical model and computational method trying to connect it all.
Could be a hypothesis as to why Abilify and dopaminergic agents have some partial efficacy in ME, even if it is temporary (so...

I am trying to get my head around the question of whether ME could be a metabolic problem, as suggested by the 'something in the blood' findings by several different researchers, and by the problems with pyruvate dehydrogenase possibly blocking or reducing complete breakdown of glucose, and by...

This research is not explicitly about ME/CFS but I decided to put it here anyway because it's about CDR and because of the acknowledgements in the full paper:
Perhaps not that interesting of a read but it is a very interesting discovery for people with ME. You may recall the metabolomics study of 2017 that found that our profile was the same as dauer - a reduced metabolic (hibernation like) state in nematode worms. Well this research has found that...
