ACE2 levels are altered in comorbidities linked to severe outcome in COVID-19

2020-06-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Aims</h4> Severity of outcome in COVID-19 is disproportionately higher among the obese, males, smokers, those suffering from hypertension, kidney disease, coronary heart disease (CHD) and/or type 2 diabetes (T2D). We examined if serum levels of ACE2, the cellular entry point for the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, were altered in these high-risk groups. <h4>Methods</h4> Associations of serum ACE2 levels to hypertensio...
