“…Glutamate alteration in COVID-19 is in part mediated by the α-glutathione S-transferase, associated with certain processes such as liver failure, skeletal muscle metabolism, cancer or immunodeficiency ( Kinscherf et al, 1996 ; Cruzat et al, 2018 ). Other found alterations include the circulating exosome ( Alzahrani et al, 2021 ; Lam et al, 2021 ), the serum fatty acids ( Chen et al, 2022 ) and other serum lipids such as carnitines ( Castañé et al, 2022 ), ceramides ( Dei Cas et al, 2021 ; Khodadoust, 2021 ) and phospholipids ( Barberis et al, 2020 ; Shen et al, 2020 ; Janneh et al, 2021 ; Masoodi et al, 2022 ). The serum lipoprotein composition is also largely dysregulated ( Bruzzone et al, 2020 ; Kimhofer et al, 2020 ; Lodge et al, 2021c ; 2021a ; Gray et al, 2021 ; Masuda et al, 2021 ), showing a pathogenic redistribution of the lipoprotein particle size and composition to increase the atherosclerotic risk.…”
