Mechanistic approaching study in COVID-19 patients treated with high doses of vitamin D Open
Aim: To evaluate angiotensin II (Ang II) and Ang-(1-7) levels and the cytokine profile in patients hospitalized with mild coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and contrast them with patients with identical clinical conditions but treated wi…

Plasmatic renin-angiotensin system in normotensive and hypertensive patients hospitalized with COVID-19 Open
Our results support the involvement of RAS in COVID-19, even when patients under RAS blockade treatment were excluded. The increased circulating ACE2 suggest higher ACE2 expression and shedding.

Renin-Angiotensin System Blockade Influences ACE2 in Human Type II Pneumocytes Open
Aims . In addition to its enzymatic function counterbalancing the pressor arm of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) 2 acts as the receptor for SARS-CoV-2. Viral fusion and cellular entry require ACE2 an…

Renin-Angiotensin System Blockade Influences ACE2 in Human Type II Pneumocytes Open
Rationale—Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) 2 and the transmembrane protease serine 2 (TMPRSS2) are key for cellular entry of the type 2 coronavirus that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV2), the etiological agent of coro…

Improving risk stratification of patients with childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia: Glutathione-S-Transferases polymorphisms are associated with increased risk of relapse Open
The inclusion of genotype at Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) diagnosis as a genetic predictor of disease outcome is under constant study. However, results are inconclusive and seem to be population specific. We analyzed the predictive v…
