Norm Roulet: The Interaction of Pb and SARS-CoV-2 and Its Impact on the Cardiovascular System
Norm Roulet, Founder of Indigenous Communities Earth (ICEarth), Swiss School of Exposenomics, Roulet’s Law, shared a post on X about a recent article by Emmanuel Obeng-Gyasi, published in International Public Health Journal, adding.
“Why Worst Genocides ever In sum, the interaction of Pb and SARS CoV-2 and its impact on the cardiovascular system is likely through the promotion of ROS production oxidative stress and inflammation. In addition to direct damage to cardiomyocytes.
Cytokines, including IL-6, (NFκB), and TNFα released from SARS-CoV-2-infected macrophages and monocytes, leading to inflammation-derived injurious cascades likely promote cardiovascular dysfunction when these agents interact.
In addition, oxidative stress can promote inflammation and apoptosis by activating NF-κB and subsequent production of proinflammatory cytokines, adhesion molecules, and chemokines.
These factors bring forth cardiovascular injury. Finally, this interaction may result in high D-dimer contributing to thrombosis, coagulopathy, and cardiovascular dysfunction.”
