Reduction of the cardiolipin molecules results in leaky mitochondrial membranes, and these membranes must not be leaky or high-energy molecules can't be produced, resulting in fatigue. Infections damage cardiolipin and other membrane phospholipids by oxidation—the infections
produce peroxides that oxidize the membrane lipidsCoronary risk profileHigh blood cholesterol and triglycerides<script>hover_boxes.hoverize_link('term_4753253_4', 'highlight_term'), and cardiolipin molecules are particularly sensitive. Once damaged, they must be removed and antibodies can be made against them during this process. These same oxidative events can damage the endothelial cells lining the blood vessels, resulting in increased platelet aggregation and increased production of platelets to compensate for this.
