"The elimination of damaged cell components is essential for the maintenance of the body's tissues and organs. An international research team has made significant findings on mechanisms for the clearing of cellular wastes, showing that strength training activates such mechanisms. The findings could form the basis for new therapies for heart failure and nerve diseases, and even afford benefits for manned space missions."

My PEM was triggered by exertion that would probably have triggered this mechanism. It's another possibility in the list of mechanisms that might trigger PEM.
