  The Danger Within: Covid-19 Affinity for ACE2 receptors in Adipose Tissue and Testes. The Protective Effects of Estradiol, Fitness and Weight Management
  Author(s): XanyaSofra*
  
  The imminent danger of the Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated research in pharmaceuticals designed to interfere with the virus’ entry into the body via ACE2 receptors, or the viral RNA replication that often overwhelms immune defences. The scope of this review was to elucidate the main human vulnerabilities like certain organs’ enrichment in ACE2 receptors increasing viral affinity to males, the aged and certain pre-existing conditions including diabetes, CVD and pulmonary diseases, that deteriorate with increasing obesity, inflammation and toxicity. The current perspective focuses on the primary components of dysregulated health predisposing individuals to Covid-19, including hormonal imbalance,increased lipids and lipoproteins, thyroid dysfunction, degraded fitness, and age-related testosterone decline accompanied by cortisol increase that provokes stress eating behaviour..
