On January 22 at the beginning of this year I had a suspicion about the protective effect of nicotine on the coronavirus. pic.twitter.com/xuctFYd31k

Nicotine has an interaction on nAChrs receptors, this interaction produces conformational changes in ACE2, which seem to be connected with the ACE arm and ANG II + AT1R, since nicotine is likely to generate an increase in expression and / or activity of renin pic.twitter.com/lagDLEHMBI

ACE and AT1R and the compensating arm ACE2 and ANG1-7 Mas R.
Nicotine probably regulates the expression or activity of ACE2-AT2R, in this way we can see how the possible contribution of acetylcholine receptors affects the regulation of ACE2. pic.twitter.com/eznnIemOSJ— Eliana Golberstein Rubashkyn 👩🔬⚗🧪 (@ElianaGolber) April 23, 2020
