Exploratory Approaches on Butyrate as an Alternative Savior for COVID-19 Severity

ABSTRACT

The global corona virus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has caused the unforeseen crisis to the modern society. In this brief review, we discussed the putative role of butyrate derived from intestinal fermentation in attenuating the COVID-19 severity, and suggested the use of multifarious butyrate by targeting cytokine storm and gut microbiota dysbiosis for the suppression of hyper-inflammatory immune response of COVID-19 infection.
