Mitochondrial function impairments have been shown in GWI patients. GWI patients report partial amelioration of chronic fatigue and brain fog after medicinal marijuana and CBD oils. Interestingly, cannabidiol (CBD) modulates mitochondrial physiology though this has not been characterized in detail. We hypothesize that GWI mitochondrial pathology can be recapitulated in dermal fibroblasts (DF) from subjects to help...
