In vitro and in vivo studies showed that angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is the cellular receptor for SARS-CoV virus [7, 8] . It has been confirmed in some clinical studies that the long-term use of ACEIs or ARBs by patients is not associated with an increased risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection, neither of developing severe COVID-19 or even with a higher risk of in-hospital death [40] [41] [42] . In the case of SARS-CoV-2 the same transient damage in the pancreas has already been documented [44] , and given its higher infectivity and affinity for the ACE2 receptor, there is increased concern relative to the complications caused by hyperglycemia, as well as the long-term effects of the infection on recovered patients. ./cache/cord-266702-6oxtlzqo.txt ./txt/cord-266702-6oxtlzqo.txt
