The Impact of COVID-19 on Iron Metabolism and Anxiety: A Biochemical Perspective on Catecholamine Metabolism and Neuroinflammation
Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has had profound effects on both physical and mental health, disrupting key biochemical processes. Among these disruptions, iron metabolism plays a central role in several enzymatic pathways crucial to maintaining biological functions. One often overlooked aspect is the impact of iron deficiency on catecholamine metabolism—small phenolic compounds such as dopamine, norepinephrine, […]
