We know from studies that the deformability of erythrocytes is impaired in #MECFS (and #LongCovid). Oxidative stress seems to play a major role in that. 👇 "Red blood cell oxidative stress impairs oxygen delivery and induces red blood cell aging" https:

@did_40 @loscharlos “Studies have shown,oxidative stress plays a significant role in damaging the RBC membrane and impairing its deformability.” “This process can also cause impaired oxygen delivery, which contributes to the pathology of a number of disea

@loscharlos Another interesting thing about this post: the two angles discussed may be quite connected. Seems oxidative stress may drive impaired RBC deformability. https://t.co/9ThsN4E6Pd
