Scientists have explained how diabetes mellitus worsens human health when infected with COVID-19.
According to ToDay News Ufa, the journal Science Advances has published studies aimed at the symptoms of coronavirus with elevated blood glucose levels.
SARS-CoV-2, penetrating the body, activates the synthesis of cytokines. Simply put, a signal is triggered that sends hazard information to the cells of the immune system. Sometimes cytokines begin to act too actively. It turns out a cytokine storm. This leads to damage to all body tissues. Not only infected. Then various inflammatory processes begin, there is a risk of death.
Why this happens is not exactly clear. Glucosamine was administered to infected mice. It was he who led to the high production of cytokines.
International researchers have concluded that diabetes causes a cytokine storm. That is why coronavirus infection is extremely dangerous for a person with diabetes.
Previously reported, scientists debunked the myth of the source of coronaviruses.
