- It has been reported that consumptions of #Polyphenols and phytosterols such as β-sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol, are beneficial for the human immune system and health due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and #Cholesterol-lowering activity - - Both #Polyphenols and phytosterols reduce #Cholesterol levels in the cell membrane or destabilize the structure of lipid rafts, which are the main docking sites for #Covid-19 entry and genome release
- - prevention of cytokine storm in ill patients > by #Polyphenols and phytosterols, which, through their effects on macrophages, inhibit the secretion of the pro-inflammatory mediators interleukin-1-beta (IL-1ß), #IL-2, #IL-6, γ-interferon (IFN-γ), and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) reducing inflammation caused by hyperactivation of cytokines
