They found higher levels of oxidative stress (which damages cells) in the people with ME/CFS and long COVID than in healthy peoples cells. They also found that women with ME/CFS were less able than healthy women to clear damaging substances called reactive oxygen species from their cells. Although this was not the case among men, those with ME/CFS had other signs of cell damage which were not seen in their healthy counterparts. The findings suggest there are similarities between ME/CFS and long COVID, the authors say.
