Moreover, the number of immunosuppressive T-regulatory, T-reg (CD4+CD25+Foxp3+) cells and concentrations of IL-6, IL-10, and C-reactive protein (CRP) were up-regulated in patients with severe COVID-19 [18], suggesting that SARS-CoV-2 infection may lead to “over-immunosuppression” in the case of obesity (Figure 1). Here, IL6 is linked to obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency.
