Kynurenine pathway in Coronavirus disease (COVID-19): Potential role in prognosis

Murat Cihan et al.

Summary: Inflammatory responses play a significant role in the pathophysiology of COVID-19. This study found that kynurenine metabolism has an impact on the disease severity of COVID-19, especially the kynurenine to tryptophan ratio and picolinic acid could serve as markers for identifying severe cases of COVID-19.

Untargeted metabolomics of COVID-19 patient serum reveals potential prognostic markers of both severity and outcome

Ivayla Roberts et al.

Summary: This study utilizes untargeted metabolomics analysis to evaluate 120 samples of COVID-19 patients and predict the severity and outcome of the infection. The study identifies a group of metabolites with relevant biological functions, such as deoxycytidine and ureidopropionate (indirectly reflecting viral load), kynurenine (reflecting host inflammatory response), and multiple short chain acylcarnitines (energy metabolism) that can predict disease severity and outcome.

Summary: This study investigated the association between serological biomarkers at the acute phase of COVID-19 infection and the development of long-term post-COVID fatigue and dyspnea. The results showed that some biomarkers were slightly different in patients with post-COVID fatigue or dyspnea, but they could not fully explain the long-term COVID-related issues.
