also inhibit the production of coenzyme Q10 in the body. Elderly patients are more likely to suffer from Coenzyme Q10 deficiency, in the use of statin drugs must be supplemented with coenzyme Q10. Rapid relief of statin-induced myalgia and fatigue counteracts statin-related myalgia and liver ...
Suggestions discussed include avoiding use of supplements enriched with plant stanols, assessing people's confidence in making changes to their lifestyle, and advise people who are at risk of CVD.Silvia Rabar1 National Clinical Guideline Centre, Royal College of Physicians, London NW1 4LE, UK...
Statin, a well-known anti-inflammatory medication, has been suggested as the possible medication to attenuate the worsening inflammatory reactions during COVID-193. However, animal studies showed that statin increases membrane-bound angiotensin-converting enzyme two receptors, the port of entry for CO...
The mechanisms of beneficial effects of statin administration in COVID-19 patients are presented in Fig. 3. Fig. 3 Summary of the direct and indirect mechanism of action of statins in the context of COVID-19. TLRs- toll like receptors; ACE2 - angiotensin converting enzyme 2; cPLA2 - ...

Since the expression of the receptor for SARS-CoV-2—angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)—may be affected by angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-I) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), their safety has been questioned. Nevertheless, the hypothesis has not been supported [36,46...

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) revealed that high-titer anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies are detectable in both serum and CSF of patients with encephalopathy and comatose. These patients showed a breakdown of BBB integrity and neurodegeneration as indicated by finding albumin and 14-3-3-protein...
