At the end of the study, it turned out that adipocytes cells are more likely to be infected with the coronavirus, but they do not cause much inflammation. Simultaneously some immune cells are also infected and even have a major inflammatory response. As far as the pre-adipocytes cells are concerned, they were neither infected nor did they develop inflammation.
In addition, the team of researchers also looked at the adipose tissue of Europeans who died of coronavirus and detected the presence of coronavirus fat around internal organs such as the heart, intestine and liver. It established a link between coronavirus and organ damage in obese people.
