EXTRACELLULAR VESICLES FROM POST-COVID-19 PATIENTS INCREASE THE ROLE OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE ON VASCULAR RELAXATION OF PROTEIN-RESTRICTED MICE

In the post-COVID-19 phase, increased circulating levels of extracellular vesicles (EV) could contribute to worsening COVID-19 in the long term. As malnutrition is considered a risk factor for infections and cardiovascular diseases, in the present study we hypothesized that EV from post-COVID-19 patients impact vascular function, particularly in malnutrition.
