Abstract

Dear Editor, As coronavirus infectious disease 2019 (COVID-19) is taking more and more lives around the world, scientific experts are doing their best to investigate more aspects of the disease and look for possible treatments. COVID-19 as a highly contagious RNA virus infection causes severe complications such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), fulminant myocarditis, and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). Besides the viral replication and the consequent cell apoptosis, the viral spike interaction with transmembrane angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) causes a disturbance in the angiotensin system and further deleterious oxidative damage to body tissues
