Like Venom Coursing Through the Body: Researchers Identify Mechanism Driving COVID-19 Mortality
In this study, we were able to identify patterns of metabolites that were present in individuals who succumbed to the disease, " said lead study authorJustin Snider, an assistant research professor in the UArizonaDepartment of Nutrition. " The metabolites that surfaced revealed cell energy dysfunction and high levels of the sPLA2-IIA enzyme. The former was expected but not the latter. "Using the same machine learning methods, the researchers developed a decision tree to predict COVID-19 mortality. Most healthy individuals have circulating levels of the sPLA2-IIA enzyme hovering around half a nanogram per milliliter. Accord...
