Assessing the quantity of neuropeptide Y in the serum of patients referred to Baqiyatallah Hospital with covid-19 concerning inflammatory factors following steroid therapy

CONCLUSION: Since the current study had a significant association between NPY and TNF-α, the regulating function of this peptide in Covid-19 inflammatory processes may be validated. Enough that it is crucial to consider NPY as a marker and its antagonist as a potential Covid-19 therapy. Also, the considerable reduction in NPY levels after steroid therapy to lower inflammatory variables supports the regulatory function of this peptide in inflammatory processes.PMID:38073167
