Replication of SARS-CoV-2 in Adipose Tissue Determines Organ and Systemic Lipid Metabolism in Hamsters and Humans
2021-10-08
Abstract excerpt
Obesity increases the risk for poor outcome in patients with coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19). However, the role of adipose tissue for viral propagation and potential metabolic implications are not understood. We detected SARS-CoV-2 in adipose tissue of overweight but not lean male COVID-19 patients. SARS-CoV-2 replicates to high titres in cultured mature adipocytes, a process depending on lipid accumulation and...
