ACE2 and diabetes mellitus: A recent study using artificial intelligence to analyze the published literature and generate computational models to investigate the relationship between diabetes and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) concluded that physiologically relevant ASL glucose concentrations of 1.2 mM promoted SARS-CoV-2 infection by reducing the activity of antimicrobial proteins, by glucose modification of surfactant protein which reduced its antiviral activity, and by facilitating angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) binding and increased endocytosis of the virus (34).
