Coronaviruses attach to cells via ACE2, Vitamin D might reduce ACE2

Problems with this page:   ACE2 files are probably at the bottom of this page

 

Fact All Coronavirus attach to ACE2 enzyme in human cells
Suspected Vitamin D reduces ACE2 enzyme
Fact All previous human Coronavirus are fought by Vitamin D
Hypothesis Vitamin D will also fight the new form of Coronavirus, COVID-19

CVD, Diabetes, and Hypertension All share the following
1) Disease associated with a big increase in COVID-19 death
   see COVID-19 deaths 4 to 7 X more likely if Diabetic, Hypertensive, or CVD - meta-analysis March 2020
2) Disease appears to be treated with ACE inhibitors

High levels of ACE2 result in better attachment by all coronaviruses (this page)
It appears that the drugs taken for the diseases are the cause of the increased death rate



Vitamin D normalizes the ACE2, which is the attachment point for COVID-19 virus. Dr. Patrick Video April 12

  • Her video reviews about a dozen publications. Her description of vitamin D starts at 24:52

Perhaps 4X more likely to die of COVID-19 if take ACE inhibitors in March 2020

Wired Magazine Feb 12, 2020
Several studies confirmed that Wuhan Coronovirus uses ACE2 connection

  • "... January 23, a research group from Wuhan’s Institute of Virology reported they had tested live samples of the new virus against human cell lines expressing ACE2 proteins and those without ACE2. It could only infect the ones that carried the receptor."

Wonder if the other human coronaviruses also connect to cells via ACE2

1) Human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E)
2) Human coronavirus OC43 (HCoV-OC43)
3) Human coronavirus NL63 (HCoV-NL63, New Haven coronavirus)
4) Human coronavirus HKU1

Vitamin D alleviates lipopolysaccharide‑induced acute lung injury via regulation of the renin‑angiotensin system - 2017

  • From Discussion: "The mRNA expression levels of ACE and ACE2 in NT, LPS, and LPS + calcitriol-treated lung tissues were also determined, and the results demonstrated that LPS increased ACE expression and decreased ACE2 levels compared with the NT group. Calcitriol treatment inhibited the effects of LPS on ACE and ACE2 mRNA expression."
