1) Prof. Karl Morton from Oxford University gave an interesting talk yesterday at the MitOX Conference 2020.

2) First, in their Polish cohort, it was mostly unknown metabolites that showed the biggest differences between ME/CFS patients and controls, suggesting a need to use untargeted approaches.
3) Second, they also looked at metabolites following an exercise program.

They found that a structured exercise programme does not make the metabolites of ME/CFS subjects look more like controls. In fact, it's just the opposite: it makes them more different.
4) The group is also hoping to do more Raman spectroscopy to compare blood cells from ME/CFS patients and healthy and fatigue controls.
