Treating chronic fatigue states as a disease of the regulation of energy metabolism - Source: Medical Hypotheses, online Aug 5, 2008
Hypothesis: Physiological “insults” can result in reduced renin-angiotensin system and sympathetic nervous system activity (stress response regulation), a decrease in number of the cell’s energy-generating mitochondria (so each works closer to capacity than is normal) and inability to sustain high power output levels. “If correct, this means that chronic fatigue syndrome can be successfully treated with RAS agonists” (RAS stimulating drugs).

What initiates the formation of senile plaques? The origin of Alzheimer-like dementias in capillary hemorrhages - Source: Medical Hypotheses, Sep 2008
The proposal that plaques form at the sites of bleeding from the brain's tiny blood vessels explains many things: e.g., why oxidative stress/cardiovascular disease are associated with Alzheimer's, why antioxidants and other vascular-protective factors protect against dementia.

Prefrontal cortex oxygenation during incremental Exercise in chronic fatigue syndrome - Source: Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging, Jul 29, 2008
CFS patient testing identifies reduced blood supply and oxygen delivery to brain during Exercise vs. controls – “may contribute to the reduced exercise load in CFS, and supports the contention that CFS, in part, is mediated centrally” (in the central nervous system).

Cardiorespiratory fitness and brain atrophy in early Alzheimer disease - Source: Neurology, July 2008
Increased cardiorespiratory fitness is linked to less brain atrophy in early Alzheimer disease and may moderate a common underlying process that affects both brain atrophy and fitness. [Source: Neurology, July 2008] |

Increase in prefrontal cortical volume following cognitive behavioral therapy in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome – Source: Brain, June 28, 2008
Researchers - who previously found reduced grey matter volume in ME/CFS patients vs. controls - report a volume increase in the lateral prefrontal cortex of patients whose cognitive speed improved with CBT. They believe this is an “example of macroscopic cortical plasticity in the adult human brain, demonstrating a surprisingly dynamic relation between behavioral state and cerebral anatomy.” - Source: Brain, June 28, 2008 |
