Detection of SARS-CoV-2 in subcutaneous fat but not visceral fat, and the disruption of fat lymphocyte homeostasis in both fat tissues in the macaque
Abstract
Subcutaneous fat tissue expresses higher angiotensin-converting-enzyme 2 mRNA than visceral fat tissue and is selectively infected by SARS-Cov-2, while both fat tissues show drastic reduction in CD69 expression in T cells.
