“…44 Stress may also induce the release of stress hormones which trigger liver glycogenolysis, aggravating the effects. 45 Furthermore, SARS-CoV-2 is known to bind to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors, which are found to be expressed in pancreatic beta-cells, thus rendering it a target for the viral attack. Such binding provides a route for the virus to enter and damage the pancreatic islets, resulting in a defect of insulin production, as indicated in previous study with its SARS virus counterpart.…”
