Small Blood Vessel Problems and Oxidative Stress in Long COVID

Updated

Abstract

Endothelial and microvascular dysfunction are key features of Long COVID.

  • Altered cellular redox balance may contribute to vascular impairment in Long COVID.
  • Changes in NAD+/NADH dynamics are observed in individuals with Long COVID.
  • Flow-Mediated Skin Fluorescence (FMSF) is used to assess microvascular function through NADH fluorescence during blood flow changes.
  • The study integrates FMSF with targeted NAD+ metabolite profiling to explore associations with microvascular responses.
  • Impaired microvascular responses may be linked to alterations in NAD+ metabolism.
