Abstract
Recent COVID-19 outbreak has come into prominence the pathogenetic mechanisms underlying the Biology and Biochemistry of viral infections. COVID-19 illness is brought about by infection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 [1,2], an enveloped positive single stranded RNA virus (ssRNA+). From a lipidomics viewpoint, there is a variety of mechanisms involving virus infection that encompass virus entry, disturbance of host cell lipid metabolism, and the role played by diverse lipids in regard to the infection effectiveness. All these aspects have currently been tackled separately as independent issues and focusing on the function of proteins. Here we review the role of cholesterol and other lipids in in ssRNA+ and SARS-COV-2 infection.
