Study Reveals Why Men Are More Vulnerable to COVID-19
Scientists say the higher levels of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) found in men may explain why men are more vulnerable to the COVID-19 novel coronavirus than women. A new study published in the European Heart Journal on Monday has provided scientific evidence that men have higher concentrations of ACE2 in their blood than women. ACE2, which is found in organs … Continue reading
