Metabolomic markers of fatigue: Association between circulating metabolome and fatigue in women with chronic widespread pain
2018, Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - Molecular Basis of DiseaseCitation Excerpt :In patients with RA, increasing fatigue scores were associated with a metabolic pattern characterised by down-regulation of metabolites from the urea cycle, fatty acids, tocopherols, aromatic amino acids, and hypoxanthine [24]. Urine metabolome studies showed a significant correlation between aminohydroxy-N-methylpyrrolidine and beta-alanine with CFS expression [20,21]. In a rat model of fatigue, distinctive changes in plasma metabolites related to branched-chain amino acid metabolism, urea cycle, and proline metabolism in the fatigued group were discovered [19].
Metabolism in chronic fatigue syndrome
2014, Advances in Clinical ChemistryCitation Excerpt :The following describes what is understood about metabolism in CFS. There have been a number of studies on metabolites within the CFS disorder, though only a few with the aim to study the state of metabolism [117–120]. The majority of studies into metabolites have focused on testing specific hypotheses or aspects of CFS through measuring a few metabolites [94,121–127].
β-Alanine and γ-aminobutyric acid in chronic fatigue syndrome
2007, Clinica Chimica ActaCitation Excerpt :In contrast Jones et al. [15] found no abnormal excretion of β-alanine among CFS patients. In agreement with Jones et al., we were unable to detect the two substances CFSUM1 and CFSUM2, described by McGregor et al. [14], in the urine of patients or controls. Chalmers et al. [23] claim that CFSUM1 and CFSUM2 are artefacts from derivatization and not true endogenous metabolites.
