Infections with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) cause disease 2019 (COVID-19), a very heterogeneous symptoms. Dyslipidaemia is prevalent in at least 20% of Europeans, and dyslipidaemia before SARS-CoV-2 infection increases the risk for COVID-19 mortality by 139%. Many reports described reduced serum cholesterol levels virus-infected patients, particular those disease. The liver major organ lipid homeostasis hepatic dysfunction appears to occur one five patients infected SARS-CoV-2. Thus, infection, severity injury may be related impaired homeostasis. These observations prompted efforts assess therapeutic opportunities cholesterol-lowering medications reduce severity. majority studies implicate statins have beneficial effects on outcome COVID-19. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) antibodies also shown potential protect against This review describes relationship between systemic levels, PCSK9 are summarised. Finally, lung function, first affected SARS-CoV-2, described.

Lectins are a class of carbohydrate-binding proteins that may have antiviral activity by binding to the glycans on virion surface interfere with viral entry. We identified novel lectin (named Shictin) from Shiitake mushroom (
