Hi all,
Thank you for the interest in this article I wrote, I was looking up whether it had been published yet and I noticed this forum came up. Been looking through the forum and it's refreshing to see such a positive collective of people helping one another like this.
I'm more than happy to answer any questions about the work and discuss some of the thoughts in better detail. I will scan back through the posts over time to answer questions that have already been asked.
Cheers,
Chris
Chris,
If you're open to hearing, I did note a mistake. (I was looking at this article a great deal!) I already sent this via 'send researcher a message' on some Research Gate-like site, but I have no idea how / if you'll ever get it.
In the article, you state that there are six metabolites off in the absolute blood metabolites, and six off in the relative. However, in one case, you then go on to list seven rather than six metabolites:
....there were again, six metabolites that were significantly different (Fig. 3a). For this analysis aspartate and glucose were increased, whereas acetate, glutamate, hypoxanthine, lactate, and phenylalanine decreased in ME/CFS patients.
Acetate is the one that is incorrect; Figure 3a shows that acetate is not increased in the relative blood metabolites, just in the absolute.
Thank you so much for this study! I find it very interesting (obviously!)
