Coldewey, Sina M. Coldewey, Massimo Collino, Muhammad M. Yaqoob, Lukas Martin, Lukas Martin, Christoph Thiemermann

“…Feeding mice, a HFD also resulted in an enhanced expression of the lipid scavenger receptor cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36) secondary to activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK)1/2, both of which were abolished by Peptide 19-2.5. Taken together, these results demonstrate that the AMP, Peptide 19-2.5 reduces insulin-resistance, steatohepatitis and proteinuria. …”

Comments on: “Early High-Titer Convalescent Plasma Therapy in Patients with Moderate and Severe COVID-19” [Transfusion and Apheresis Science 61 (2022) 103321] by Seyed Reza Hosseiniara

“…The analysis indicated a death rate of 6.9% when therapy was administered within five days of hospital admission, compared to 12.3% for those receiving treatment after five days.1 Consequently, the authors concluded that convalescent plasma therapy is beneficial for patients with moderate COVID-19 in the early stages of the disease.However, it is crucial to note that the authors did not account for the total length of hospital stay in their analysis, a factor that could significantly influence outcomes. …”
