Abstract

Oxidative stress in COVID-19 does derive from other sources than endothelial XO. The rise in protective enzymes like SOD and CAT may be the result of enzyme induction. Since the correlation of CAT with disease severity was highest, we propose this parameter as a possible predictor for a severe clinical course.
