Acute respiratory distress syndrome is considered the leading cause of death in patients with COVID-19. To reduce the risk of ARDS, you need to perform regular exercise. This was stated by scientist Zheng Yang from the University of Virginia in the United States.
ARDS affects 2-17% of patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Mortality from ARDS remains at around 40%, even with mechanical ventilation.
Studying the effect of the virus on the body, Zhen Yang took into account the fact that most patients with COVID-19 show only slight signs of the virus or have no symptoms at all. The scientist decided to investigate such a feature.
“In my research, I focused on the antioxidant enzyme EcSOD, which protects healthy tissues by attacking free radicals,” the scientist wrote in the university’s News Room, describing the results of his research.
According to Jan, the EcSOD enzyme is produced by the human muscles due to cardiac loads, which helps to provide all vital organs with the necessary protection through the bloodstream.
“A decrease in EcSOD is observed in acute lung diseases, coronary heart disease, renal failure, osteoarthritis and other diseases. It is known from preclinical experiments that EcSOD blocking causes heart problems, and increased concentration, on the contrary, has a positive effect,” says the scientist.
Ian believes that EcSOD can be an effective treatment for ARDS and many other diseases. In the future, it is possible to produce appropriate drugs for those who can not play sports. He urges all other people not to postpone training and increase the body’s defense now.

As Glavred reported, Ancha Baranova, professor at the School of Systems Biology at George Mason University (USA), spoke about the effects of COVID-19 on the body. According to her, patients who have undergone severe coronavirus can subsequently face serious health problems.
Recall, the previously famous doctor Yevgeny Komarovsky said whether ultraviolet can kill coronavirus.
