Mitochondrial Mysteries
Long COVID patients exhibit significantly compromised mitochondrial function, leading to reduced muscular strength and lower oxygen uptake despite similar exertion levels compared to healthy individuals. The study reveals that these patients produce lactate earlier, indicating a lack of energy, and possess a higher proportion of fast-twitch muscle fibers that fatigue quickly. This highlights a critical mechanism behind the persistent fatigue and muscle damage seen in long COVID.In this clip
