Several viral infections, and the progression of virus-induced diseases, especially those associated with COVID-19, are characterized by an alteration in the intracellular redox balance ( FIGURE 8 Atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease, may be an ideal environment for the high viral replication capabilities of SARS-CoV-2 in human cells, enhancing hyper-inflammation secondary to immune system dysregulation (Figure 9) that leads to adverse outcomes, as shown in patients with cardiovascular risk factors (258, 259)
In cardiomyocytes, the high NAD+ level may co-exist with the ATP/O2 coupling [19]
Beyond the breakdown While breaking down immunogenic gluten-derived peptides is a promising and thoroughly explored strategy for treating celiac disease, researchers are also developing therapeutics to block the immune response to gluten downstream
