Dietary Nicotianamine as a Factor in International Variations of Mortality from Covid-19
Day, C. E.
Show abstract
Nicotianamine is a compound found only in plants that strongly binds to and potently inhibits at nanomolar concentrations the angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) which is the human cell receptor for the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Because of its ACE2 binding activity it can potentially reduce mortality from Covid-19. This report explores the inverse association of dietary nicotianamine intake with mortality from Covid-19 from numerous countries. The data support a probable dramatic effect of nicotianamine in reducing coronavirus mortality. The best-case scenario of consuming a diet high in nicotianamine is a 100-fold reduction in Covid-19 mortality. Worst case is that one consumes a more healthful diet that is less expensive and more environmentally friendly.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
