Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between long COVID, insulin resistance (IR), and depressive symptoms, noting significant correlations between increased peak body temperature and decreased blood oxygen levels as predictors of these symptoms.
- A cohort of 86 long COVID patients was compared to 39 control subjects, using various assessments like the Homeostasis Model Assessment for insulin metrics and depression scales.
- Findings reveal that long COVID is linked to heightened IR and insulin levels, with a notable proportion of patients showing signs of insulin resistance, suggesting that increased IR may contribute to the development of depressive symptoms in long COVID by worsening neurotoxicity.
