So turns out that in ME/CFS all of your body’s cells are probably using the same energy production compensation methods as cancer cells. Fucking tracks lmao

#to clarify the evidence points to enhanced glycolysis due to #impairment of oxidative phosphorylation #it’s called the Warburg effect and tumor cells use it because they are in an oxygen deprived environment #glycolysis is much less efficient at ATP production so basically your cells can just barely manage to keep up #if you are at rest with no heightened energy demand whatsoever #but the minute you go beyond that threshold it’s uh oh scoob #I just thought it was poetic
