1. Curcumin:

a. Inhibits the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF- α) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated BV2 microglial cells and IL- 1β and IL-6 in TNF-α treated HaCaT cells via inhibiting the NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways.

How does #VitaminD prevent complications in severely affected #COVID19 patients (approx. 20% of hospitalized patients develop serious symptoms) by managing the cytokine/bradykinin storm, ARDS, and organ damage? Thread
1. Cytokine Storm:

a. Vitamin D decreases the production of Th1 cells. Thus, it can suppress the progression of inflammation through reducing the generation of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, IL-8, IL-12, and IL-17.

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21047796/
b. Vitamin D also decreases the generation of TNFα and nuclear factor-κB (NFκB). Moreover, 1,25(OH)2D, a biologically active form of vitamin D, directly inhibits gamma interferon (IFN-γ) and IL-2.
