Environmental factors such as cell-cell contact and hypotonicity might place additional demands on the equatorial contractile apparatus that go beyond the intrinsic stiffness of the cell cortex.
A 3-week vegetarian diet improved subjective well being in FMS patients, along with significant reductions in serum peroxides, plasma fibrinogen, apolipoproteins A and B, and serum total cholesterol [ 14 ] . A "living-foods" vegan diet was used in a 3-month non-randomized controlled study of FMS subjects [ 15 ] . In the intervention group there were significant improvements in pain scores, quality of sleep, morning stiffness, health assessment questionnaire scores, and general health questionnaire.
Investigators saw significant improvements in pain scores and significantly less morning stiffness, similar to our results.
During cytokinesis, global and spatial mechanical properties are likely used to deform a cell, allowing the constriction of the cell's equator (reviewed in [ 22 ] ). These spatial properties include local modulation of stiffness and the generation of contractile force.
More myosin-II is recruited to the furrow cortex when D. discoideum cells are flattened by agar overlay when compared to cells grown under standard conditions on the surface of a culture plate [ 18 ] . Flattening a cell by agar overlay may increase the apparent stiffness of the cell by introducing tension into the cortex from increased hydrostatic pressure.
