MORTALITY FROM COVID-19 INCREASES WITH UNSATURATED FAT, AND MAY BE REDUCED BY EARLY CALCIUM AND ALBUMIN SUPPLEMENTATION
- Hypocalcemia, hypoalbuminemia occur early during severe COVID-19
- UFAs cause MSOF, inflammation resembling severe COVID-19
- Mortality from COVID-19 correlates with dietary unsaturated fat intake, while saturated fat is protective.
- SFAs in triglycerides impede interaction with ATGL
- UFAs injure and impede cell functions; albumin binding prevents but does not reverse injury
- Thus early supplementation with albumin and calcium maybe better than correcting deficiencies later
during severe COVID-19 infection or sepsis, which may be too little too late.
