4e) and higher accumulation of mitochondrial mass, probably due to prevention of ROS-induced organellar damage (Fig
In the lungs, after entering in type II alveolar cells, SARS-CoV-2 infected cells become defective for surfactant production (Ghati et al., 2021) and release cytokines, like IL-8 among others, which in turn activate alveolar macrophages to release IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-, that induce natural killer and dendritic cell differentiation and macrophage M1 polarization, enhancing the proinflammatory response with increased vasodilation causing neutrophil and activated T cell influx from the capillaries into the alveolus, all leading to the cytokine storm (Carcaterra and Caruso, 2021
There were significant improvements in both groups however at 3 months, the orally supplemented group had significantly lower CIBDAI
The VEGF family of angiogenic growth factors is involved in neuroprotection, neurogenesis, and angiogenesis
Following this, the bacterial culture was pelleted by centrifugation at 1,000 g for 5 min at room temperature and then resuspended in the medium designated for further experiments
