Vitamina D y la COVID-19

from Cienciaes.com

Estudios observacionales en el pasado han informado de un nexo entre bajos niveles de la vitamina y una susceptibilidad a infecciones agudas del tracto respiratorio. La vitamina D modula la respuesta de los leucocitos sanguíneos, impidiéndoles la liberación excesiva de unas proteínas, las citoquinas. Se sabe que el virus de la Covid-19 causa un exceso de ellas: una peligrosa cascada que es un factor crucial en el desarrollo de la enfermedad y el riesgo de muerte. Ahora, dos estudios señalan que existe una asociación entre los bajos niveles de la vitamina D y una mayor mortalidad ocasionada por la Covid-19, al igual que un incremento en el número de casos. En el primer estudio, Earnon Laird, profesor en el Trinity College, dice que hay una evidencia observacional de un nexo entre la vitamina D y la mortalidad. El segundo, liderado por un equipo de la Universidad Northwestern, sugiere que la vitamina D fortalece la inmunidad innata y previene la respuesta exagerada del sistema inmunitario.
