l-Arginine is involved in many different biological processes and recent reports indicate that it could also play a crucial role in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Herein, we present an updated systematic overview of the current evidence on the functional contribution of L-Arginine in COVID-19, describing its actions on endothelial cells and the immune system and discussing its potential as a therapeutic tool, emerged from recent clinical experimentations.
精氨酸参与许多不同的生物过程,最近的报告表明,它在由严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒 2 型(SARS-CoV-2)引起的 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)中也可能发挥关键作用。在此,我们对目前关于精氨酸在 COVID-19 中的功能贡献的证据进行了更新的系统综述,描述了它对血管内皮细胞和免疫系统的作用,并讨论了它作为一种治疗工具的潜力,这是最近的临床实验中出现的。
