SARS-CoV-2 can cause hyperglycemia in cats Hyperglycemia SARSCoV2 Coronavirus Disease COVID Veterinary Feline Cats JIDJournal IDSAInfo
The precise mechanisms underlying the emergence of new-onset diabetes among coronavirus disease 2019 patients are unknown; however, it is possibly due to several complex and interrelated etiologies, such as impaired glucose disposal as well as insulin secretion, stress hyperglycemia, steroid-induced diabetes, and preadmission diabetes.
About the study The present study offered a comprehensive analysis of hyperglycemia associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection in household cats. To determine if SARS-CoV-2 could affect glucose metabolism, the team tested the cats' blood glucose levels prior to and following the viral infection. Immunohistochemistry triple labeling for viral nucleocapsid protein , insulin, and glucagon was also performed. A vaccine-protective experiment was conducted to confirm if SARS-CoV-2 induces hyperglycemia in cats. Six cats were inoculated with inactivated SARS-CoV-2 three times.
Related StoriesThe vast majority of cats infected with SARS-CoV-2 displayed hyperglycemia, but none of the subjects in the control group did. This demonstrated a connection between COVID-19 and glucose levels in the blood. Microscopic examination and anatomopathological characteristics revealed that COVID-19 did not cause any visible pathological alterations in the cat pancreas. Moreover, islets were easily visible without detecting any abnormal or diseased cells.
