Metabolic Changes in SARS-CoV-2 Infection: Clinical Data and Molecular Hypothesis to Explain Alterations of Lipid Profile and Thyroid Function Observed in COVID-19 Patients

Metabolic Changes in SARS-CoV-2 Infection: Clinical Data and Molecular Hypothesis to Explain Alterations of Lipid Profile and Thyroid Function Observed in COVID-19 Patients

It seems that during SARS-CoV-2 infection, total cholesterol, LDL-C, and HDL-C values decrease and lipids could play a fundamental role in viral replication. Moreover, it has been shown that SARS-CoV-2...

Male-specific Association between Iron and Lipid Metabolism Changes and Erythroferrone after Hepatitis C Virus Eradication - PubMed

Male-specific Association between Iron and Lipid Metabolism Changes and Erythroferrone after Hepatitis C Virus Eradication - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34433710/

Objective Hepatitis C virus (HCV) eradication is associated with decreased serum ferritin and increased serum low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, although the mechanisms underlying these changes remain unclear. This study aimed...

Lycopene Reduces Cholesterol Absorption and Prevents Atherosclerosis in ApoE-/- Mice by Downregulating HNF-1α and NPC1L1 Expression

Lycopene Reduces Cholesterol Absorption and Prevents Atherosclerosis in ApoE-/- Mice by Downregulating HNF-1α and NPC1L1 Expression

Source : https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/acs.jafc.1c03160

Our previous study showed that lycopene reduced the absorption of cholesterol in Caco-2 cells through inhibiting Niemann-Pick C1-Like 1 (NPC1L1) expression. Herein, we aimed to explore whether lycopene supplementation can...
