From: Assessing cellular energy dysfunction in CFS/ME using a commercially available laboratory test
Percentage of ATP inhibited in neutrophils and PBMCs when OXPHOS inhibitor sodium azide was added. Calculated as the amount of ATP after the addition of sodium azide as a percentage of ATP before cells are treated. This shows how reliant the cells are on OXPHOS as an energy source. A lower % ATP inhibition shows a lower reliance on OXPHOS. N = 23. There were no significant differences between CFS/ME and healthy control % ATP inhibition for either cell type (Supplementary Information S3).
