Highlights |
• | Serum levels of CoQ10, NOX4, MDA, and IMA - which can be used as biomarkers of endogenous oxidative damage - were significantly increased in patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia. |
• | CoQ10H serum levels were also decreased in these patients, suggesting increased endogenous oxidative damage. |
• | We observed that CoQ10, NOX4, MDA, and IMA levels were significantly increased in patients with severe pulmonary involvement (severe SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia) compared to those without severe pulmonary involvement. Our findings support the association between the degree of endogenous oxidative damage and the degree of pulmonary involvement severity. |
Abstract |
Introduction |
The SARS-CoV-2 virus affects many organs, especially the lungs, with widespread inflammation. We aimed to compare the endogenous oxidative damage markers of coenzyme Q10, nicotinamide dinucleotide oxidase 4, malondialdehyde, and ischemia-modified albumin levels in patients with pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2 and in an healthy control group. We also aimed to compare these parameters between patients with severe and non-severe pulmonary involvement.
Methods |
The study included 58 adult patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia and 30 healthy volunteers. CoQ10 and MDA levels were determined by high-pressure liquid chromatography. NOX4 and IMA levels were determined by ELISA assay and colorimetric method.
Results |
Higher levels of CoQ10, MDA, NOX4, and IMA and lower levels of COQ10H were observed in patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia than in the control group. MDA, IMA, NOX4, and CoQ10 levels were significantly higher in patients with severe pulmonary involvement than in patients with non-severe pulmonary involvement, but no significant difference was observed in CoQ10H levels. CoQ10 levels were significantly and positively correlated with both ferritin and CRP levels.
Conclusion |
SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia is significantly associated with increased endogenous oxidative damage. Oxidative damage seems to be associated with pulmonary involvement severity.
