Multiple MD studies have shown protective effects on obesity and the prevention ofweight gain (Agnoli et al.,2018; Mendez et al.,2006; Schröder,2007) as well as significant alterations in inflammatory markers seenelevated in those with severe cases of COVID-19, such as interleukin 6 (Medina-Remón et al., 2017;Schwingshackl and Hoffmann,2014) and high-sensitive C reactive protein (Schwingshackl and Hoffmann, 2014). The gene discussed is IL6; the disease is obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency.
