Article Synopsis
- Adipose tissue (AT) acts as a key metabolic organ and influences various bodily functions through hormonal mechanisms; this study focused on its role during COVID-19 by examining relationships between adipokines and blood cell indices in infected individuals.
- The research involved 76 COVID-19 patients and found that higher leptin levels correlated positively with body mass index (BMI) and body fat mass, while adiponectin showed an inverse relationship with BMI.
- The study also linked leptin levels to increased platelet metrics, suggesting that AT might contribute to the complex immune response during COVID-19, thus providing insights into its pathophysiology.
Association between vitamin D hypovitaminosis and severe forms of COVID-19.
Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci
June 2023
Objective: Hypovitaminosis D may be associated with an increased susceptibility to infection, more severe COVID-19 forms, and a higher risk of death. The objective of this study was to investigate any possible connections between vitamin D status [as measured by serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels] and COVID-19 severity.
Patients And Methods: In 2021, a cross-sectional study of consecutive adult COVID-19 patients was conducted.
