Pasteur effect in leukocyte energy metabolism of patients with mild, moderate, and severe COVID-19
Abstract
The Pasteur effect in cellular energy metabolism is defined as the switch to anaerobic glycolysis due to alterations in ambient oxygen concentration or inhibition of the electron transport chain (ETC) and oxidative phosphorylation. This study aimed to determine the effect of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection on the energy metabolism of leukocytes among Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients at various stages.
