The potential role of physical activity and a healthy diet in increasing nitric oxide during COVID-19 outbreak. This manuscript presents a perspective which provide new insights about the promising role of nitric oxide on COVID-19. Demonstration that nitric oxide was an important cornerstone against viral infections, including SARS-CoV-1 in 2009. Thus, given the concern that higher NO could improve endothelial health and might be a protection factor against COVID-19, should we critically consider non-pharmacological strategies that increase NO bioavailability as medicine for COVID-19? From this perspective, we highlight the potential effect of physical activity and healthy diet in stimulating the increase of NO bioavailability.
体育活动和健康饮食在新冠疫情期间增加一氧化氮方面的潜在作用。本手稿提出了一种观点，为一氧化氮在新冠疫情中的潜在作用提供了新的见解。有证据表明一氧化氮是对抗病毒感染（包括2009年的甲型H1N1流感病毒）的重要基石。因此，鉴于更高水平的一氧化氮可能改善内皮健康并可能是预防新冠疫情的保护因素，我们是否应该审慎考虑将增加一氧化氮生物利用度的非药物策略作为新冠疫情的治疗方法？从这个角度来看，我们强调体育活动和健康饮食在刺激一氧化氮生物利用度增加方面的潜在作用。
