Effects of B-Blockers on the Sympathetic and Cytokines Storms in Covid-19. by Al-kuraishy, Hayder M., Al-Gareeb, Ali Ismail, Mostafa-Hedeab, Gomaa, Keneth Iceland, Kasozi, Zirintunda, Gerald, Aslam, Akhmed, Allahyani, Mamdouh, Welburn, Susan Christina, Batiha, Gaber El-Saber

“…The potential mechanisms of SS in Covid-19 are through different pathways such as hypoxia, which activate the central sympathetic center through carotid bodies chemosensory input and induced proinflammatory cytokines, which cross the blood-brain barrier and activation of the sympathetic center. b2-receptors signaling pathway play a crucial role in the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, macrophage activation, and B-cells for the production of antibodies with inflammation exacerbation. b-blockers have anti-inflammatory effects through reduction release of pro-inflammatory cytokines with inhibition of NF-kB. …”

Sex Differences in the Allele Distribution of PGLYRP2 Variant rs892145 in Parkinson’s Disease by Caroline Ran, Karin Wirdefeldt, Olof Sydow, Per Svenningsson, Rochellys Diaz Heijtz

“…Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a complex multifactorial disease, involving genetic susceptibility, environmental risk factors, and gene-environmental interactions. The microbiota-gut-brain axis is hypothesized to play a role in the pathophysiology of PD, and peptidoglycan recognition proteins (PGLYRPs), which modulate the gut microbiota, are, therefore, relevant candidate genes for PD. …”
