Carpal tunnel syndrome is a painful condition caused by swelling and inflammation in the wrist and tendons of the fingers that surround the median nerve.

When the swollen tendons squeeze or compress the median nerve, it causes pain, tingling, and numbness. Carpal tunnel syndrome is sometimes referred to as a repetitive motion syndrome.

Foods and supplements that alleviate inflammation may benefit this condition. In some instances, the right type of diet may alleviate symptoms enough so that other medical treatments are not needed. In other instances, it may be a beneficial addition to medical treatment.

Certain foods may also exacerbate this condition, by furthering inflammation in the body.

Read on to learn about the foods and supplements that help or hurt carpal tunnel syndrome.

Carpal tunnel syndrome has a number of known causes. These include:

Inflammation also plays a central role in the pain-related symptoms caused by carpal tunnel syndrome.

Inflammation is a natural process in the body that helps protect you from injury and infection. However, chronic inflammation has been linked to:

A diet high in processed foods may increase levels of pro-inflammatory proteins, called cytokines. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFa) is a cytokine that has been specifically linked to carpal tunnel pain. Research shows that diets rich in processed foods may increase inflammatory proteins, like TNFa.

Foods that promote inflammation may make carpal tunnel syndrome worse. These include:

Refined starches are also referred to as simple carbohydrates, or simply, bad carbs. They include grains that have been stripped of fiber, nutrients, and bran. They also include desserts and sodas.

Refined starches and sugars include:

Many refined carbohydrates are also high in saturated or trans fat. These include desserts such as pie and cake.

Other foods high in saturated and trans fat include:

Fried foods are often high in trans fat and salt. They include many fast foods, such as French fries, fried chicken, and tacos.

Since salt can cause water retention, it may worsen swelling and pressure on the median nerve.

Avoid foods that are high in salt, including processed, packaged foods. Also avoid adding table salt to meals.

A too-heavy intake of alcoholic beverages can raise inflammation levels in the body.

A 2018 study found that long-term, excessive drinking could increase the risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome.

Foods that reduce inflammation have been shown in studies to be beneficial to health and may support a reduction in carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms. They include:

Omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties and are neuroprotective. A small 2020 study found that omega-3 fatty acids reduced numbness and pain caused by carpal tunnel syndrome. Foods containing omega-3 fatty acids include:

Foods high in antioxidants can reduce inflammation and may help alleviate the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. They include:

Vitamin B6 supplementation is a controversial treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome. Its sometimes recommended by healthcare providers because its optimal for overall health, plus it may help reduce carpal tunnel symptoms.

Its not completely clear how B6 works for this condition. One possible explanation is that it acts as an analgesic, by raising the pain threshold of people with carpal tunnel syndrome.

Foods high in B6 include:

Vitamin B12 supplementation may be beneficial for reducing the effects of nerve damage and relieving pain. Eating a diet high in this nutrient may also be beneficial. Foods high in vitamin B12 include:

Turmeric is a spice that contains curcumin, which has been found to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective effects for peripheral nerves.

In addition to scientific data, users of turmeric say its beneficial for reducing the inflammation associated with carpal tunnel syndrome and with other conditions, including arthritis.

If you decide to try turmeric, make sure to use it with black pepper. The pepper increases the bioavailability of curcumin, increasing its effectiveness.

You can also drink turmeric tea.

If your diet is lacking in the vitamins and nutrients found in the foods listed above, you may benefit from taking them as supplements. They include:

In addition, there are supplements that may be beneficial to take, as the nutrients are hard to get through diet alone. They include:

Home remedies for carpal tunnel syndrome may be useful for pain relief and for alleviating swelling. They include:

Carpal tunnel syndrome can be painful and debilitating. Since it can occur in both wrists, it may significantly reduce your ability to participate in daily activities.

If at-home treatments and dietary changes dont help, talk with a healthcare provider.

In some instances, acupuncture may be beneficial for alleviating this condition and reducing pain.

You may also wish to consider medical treatments, such as cortisone injections.

Surgical solutions for carpal tunnel syndrome may be highly beneficial.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a painful condition caused by the compression of nerves in the wrist and palm.

Eating certain foods and taking dietary supplements may help alleviate the swelling and inflammation caused by this condition. There are also some at-home treatments that can help.

If diet and at-home methods for treating carpal tunnel syndrome arent enough, speak with a healthcare provider.

The holiday season is upon us, which means weve shifted our obsession from pumpkin spice to cinnamon. From festive drinks to flavored foods, you might notice the spice added to at least one of your favorite holiday dishes.

Cinnamon is an aromatic spice that comes from the dried bark of the cinnamomum tree, says Robin Foroutan, M.S., RDN, and spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. There are two main kinds of cinnamon: ceylon cinnamon, aka true cinnamon, and cassia cinnamon (less expensive and commonly used in processed food).

Join Runners World+ today for more nutrition tips!

Not only is this spice delicious, but cinnamon is also loaded with some unexpected health benefits of which runners can, and should, take advantage.

[The 2021 Runner's World Calendar features gorgeous photos, monthly motivation, and tips to inspire your running all year long.]

It may help balance your blood sugar.

Polyphenol antioxidants, found in cinnamon, may act like insulin, which means they assist glucose in moving out of the bloodstream and into cells. This is important for runners because the faster sugar gets into muscles, the faster it can be burned for fuel, says Foroutan.

It may help lower your cholesterol.

Animal studies have shown that cinnamon may play a role in lowering cholesterol concentrations in the body. In a study, mice that were fed a diet that included cinnamon extract had significantly higher HDL (good) cholesterol. Results showed it could also help lower total and LDL (bad) cholesterol, says Ginger Hultin, Seattle-based RDN, spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and owner of ChampagneNutrition.

This seems especially true for those with high cholesterol and diabetes, says Hultin.

A human study showed that out of people in the study using 1, 3, or 6 grams of cinnamon for 40 days, all three of the groups (but not the placebo) had lower triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, and total cholesterol, as well.

It may help blood vessel function.

Cinnamon has been shown to improve blood vessel dilation, which is the ability for your blood vessels to expand to allow better blood flow, in animal studies, says Foroutan. Cinnamon is one of many natural foods that contain phytonutrients that help improve blood vessel dilation.

This is important to runners, because blood flow is important for peak muscle and cardiovascular performance, however more research is needed to confirm the effect in humans.

It may help lower inflammation.

Previous small studies have shown that people who drank cinnamon tea had a higher antioxidant status than those who drank tea without cinnamon or hot water. This is likely because antioxidant flavonoids in cinnamon and the essential oils it contains, such as cinnamaldehyde, could act as free-radical scavengers (substances that protect cells from damage) and play a role in lowering inflammation, says Hultin.

Because exercise creates free radicals (unstable molecules created during normal cell metabolism) that can trigger inflammation, athletes need to go above and beyond to include plenty of foods that help the body balance inflammation. Foods that are high in antioxidants, such as cinnamon and other spices, help stabilize free radicals so they cant inflame our cells and tissues, Foroutan says.

It can help reduce added sugar intake.

If you sprinkle some cinnamon on your food, the sweet taste of cinnamon can trick your tongue into thinking that a food is sweeter than it actually is. This can help people reduce the amount of added sugar they consume, says Foroutan.

Consuming too much added sugar is problematic for everyones healtheven athletes, says Foroutan. Relying on slow burning complex carbs and natural sugars from fruit instead of reaching for candy can give you that burst of energy and keep you fueled for longer.

To get the full benefits, you may need to eat a lot of cinnamon. But you can still benefit from adding even a bit of the spice to your diet. According to some studies, its safest to consume in moderationabout 1 teaspoon per day.

Its important to know that in studies, trials are often using amounts that are much higher than a person would typically eat in their diets; often 1 to 6 grams for up to three months. A teaspoon of cinnamon is less than 3 grams for reference, says Hultin.

But, eating too much cinnamon could have some side effects of its own. One teaspoon of cinnamon contains between 7 and 18 milligrams of coumarin, so its important you dont start loading up every dish with it.

Cinnamon has a compound called coumarin which has been shown to potentially have some negative effects at high levels, says Hultin. There is a chance of irritation to the liver and could irritate the mucosal membranes in your mouth and digestive tract.

Here are 11 delicious cinnamon-filled recipes to help fuel you for your runs.

If youre looking for ways to add cinnamon to your breakfast, try these banana ginger oats.

Naturally sweetened with nutrient-packed bananas (and nothing else!), these whole grain oats are perfect on a long-run day. Add extra cinnamon to taste for more flavor and potentially anti-inflammatory benefits, says Hultin.

Keep this salted cinnamon peanut butter on hand to put on top of everything from toast and oatmeal to yogurt. Peanut butter offers a fantastic combination of fat and protein for satiety and pairs perfectly with so many carbohydrates to fuel running, says Sarah Schlichter, MPH, RDN, registered dietitian nutritionist and owner of Bucket List Tummy.

This peanut butter sweet potato bread is great for eating any time to fuel your runs.

I love the combination of ingredients and flavors in this recipe, says Amber Pankonin MS, RD, LMNT, registered dietitian and owner of Stirlist. The cinnamon combined with sweet potatoes and peanut butter provide a nutritious energy source for runners. Cinnamon has also been known to help decrease appetite, so the combination of these ingredients can help with fullness and satiety.

If youre a smoothie fan, try this ginger pumpkin breakfast smoothie.

One of the most important parts of a pumpkin-spice mixture is the cinnamon; its the spice youll use in the greatest amount. Thats perfect for flavoring smoothies that can power your run, says Hultin.

Use canned pumpkin any time of year in this recipe for added vitamin A and other nutrients and dont hold back on the cinnamon which adds intensity of flavor and some potential health benefits, too.

Keep this maple cinnamon granola on hand for easy snacking. An easy make ahead snack for pre- or post-run to help provide instant energy and/or replenish glycogen levels, says Schlichter.

You probably already have all the ingredients needed to whip up this apple cinnamon baked oatmeal. Cinnamon combined with fiber sources like apples and oatmeal could be beneficial for digestive health, says Pankonin.

Try this banana chia pudding in the morning. The perfect carbohydrate rich breakfast for before or after a run. Loaded with whole grain oats and a banana, this flavorful overnight oats can be made ahead of time [for you early risers] and is full of electrolytes, says Schlichter.

For a protein-packed lunch or dinner, try this Hawaiian pork and peas recipe. Combining lean protein with complex carbohydrates from vegetable sources is a great recovery meal for runners, says Pankonin. Some research has suggested that cinnamon has anti-inflammatory properties, which might also help with recovery.

Try this tasty and healthier version of spiced apple crisp. Meal prep this healthy crisp and use it as a breakfast or snack pre- or post-run all week long, says Hultin. Having a healthy, whole grain, carbohydrate-rich meal can give your body what it needs to perform. Cinnamon takes center stage in this apple and oat-based recipe. By boosting up spices like cinnamon, you can often cut back on the amount of added sugar you use.

Looking for your new go-to snack? Find it in this apple cinnamon potato bread. This quickbread makes for a quick, easy and convenient snack between exercise sessions, or a fast way to get quick acting carbohydrates before a run. Top it with peanut butter for more staying power, says Schlichter.

If youre a fan of savory foods, add this cinnamon poached chicken and rice dish to your meal-prep rotation.

This savory dish combines lean protein with rice and seasoned with cinnamon. Cinnamon contains antioxidants, which might improve heart health making it a great spice for runners to include in their diets, says Pankonin.

How does what you eat affect your chances of fighting infection such as the coronavirus? A Virginia Tech professor explains how diet can make a difference.

How does what you eat affect your chances of fighting viruses such as the coronavirus? A Virginia Tech professor detailed how diet can make a difference.

I think the biggest mistake people are making is (thinking) there is nothing they can do beyond social isolation to defend themselves against infections, said Carlin Rafie, an assistant professor at Virginia Tech and a registered dietitian.

Rafie has expertise in nutrition and dietetics, focused on health education of Virginia residents through the Virginia Cooperative Extension.

In addition to social distancing and wearing a mask, there are ways people can boost their personal defense system while waiting to get the coronavirus vaccine.

Rafie said bodies are highly capable of managing disease and defending against disease. One way to start is by eating more fruits and vegetables.

The dietary recommendations recommends about two cups of fruits a day and three cups of vegetables a day. But only one out of 10 Americans actually consume that amount, Rafie said.

Rafie believes that by increasing the number of servings of fruits and vegetables, the risk for disease can be decreased and health may be improved.

Fruits and vegetables high in vitamins A and C boost the immune system.

Vitamin A plays a really important role in the integrity of our skin and digestive tract, the epithelial tissue thats where a lot of infection gets in including respiratory tissue, Rafie said. Respiratory is kind of an epithelial tissue.

So which vegetables should you choose?

They should be the ones you like, otherwise youre not going to eat them, she said.

Think also in terms of varieties of colors and forms and vegetables, fresh, cooked, canned and frozen.

So that you consume them in sufficient quantities and variety, Rafie said.

Its not just fruits and vegetables that can help your body fight off disease, but a dose of dairy can also help, specifically dairy fortified with vitamin D.

Vitamin D plays an important role for balancing immune response in the immune system, Rafie said.

Dont do dairy? Rafie said you can look for alternative milk products or even orange juice fortified with vitamin D.

Rafie also recommends fermented foods with live active cultures, such as yogurt or kombucha, which are good for your digestive system and intestinal tract.

Having a really healthy intestinal tract and digestive system is really important to immune function, Rafie said.

Many people dont associate the two, but 70-80% of immune system lies in our GI tract. You need a healthy microbiome in the digestive tract, which fermented yogurt and such can give, Rafie said.

Other possibilities are sauerkraut that hasnt been pasteurized, kimchi and buttermilk.

But overall, Rafie said it is important to watch how much you are eating, and keep an eye on the scale.

Being obese has lots of health consequences. It also has consequences on your immune function, Rafie said.

Before the pandemic, many had regular routines that kept them eating healthy and exercising. While that doesnt always work with pandemic restrictions, Rafie said its time to create a new normal and get back into healthy habits.

Need some motivation to live healthier and reach your goals? At The Beet, we asked people all over the world to share their best mantra, words of wisdom, or inspirational quotes that helped them overcome life's biggest challenges.

We listen to failures, successes, and advice from people who beat illness, addiction, disorders, depression, and more by eating a plant-based diet. Then, we share the entire journey (under our success stories column) with you, and our readers,tolearn from personal, real-life experiences, and feel inspired to make smarter choices, daily.

The new year is right around the corner, andit's likely you have a new intention or goal in mind. The most important part of your resolution is sticking to it. One simple way to focus on your goals is tospeak out loud and repeat mantras or affirmations that spreads positivity, release negativity or doubt from your mind, andhelp you concentrateto feel present.

We rounded up theten best mantras we have ever heard from people who changed their lives and stayed committed.Learn, think, appreciate, and execute everything you want to be in 2021.

"My Mantra is: Mood Follows Action.What that means is we have this human tendency to try to make a change, and then we wait to do the hard, uncomfortable thing.We wait until we feel like doing it. But that day never comes. But to me,Mood Follows Actionmeans the action precedes the mood. If you wait to take the actionwhen you feel like it you may never do it. That helps me take the first step,like jumping into the cold water when I may not feel like it, or not hitting snooze on the alarm. And that approach has helped me in many contexts. It has helped me since I first heard it back in AA many years ago. Does the mood follow? Well, yes. You never do the thing and think, "I wish I hadn't done that."

All things are working for my good.I love that one because Ive already been through so much, and if Ive made it this far, I can keep going. I can keep pushing for myself, for my girls, because thats what mamas do."

Still, I Rise,is one of my favorite quotes from Maya Angelou. It really helped me through my darkest moments. There was a point when I just didnt want to continue living, so the quote reminded me that I could still rise above all the things Id gone through. With depression, even the heaviest of emotions can be thought of as just being a wave and theyll pass. You just have to ride them out, because whatever youregoing through, you can get past it. You never come up against something you cant overcome, it just takes the mental space to realize it."

"You can have your best life, or you can have alcohol.That one just blew my mind. The other one I love that I mentioned earlier is if you dont have control over yourself and your time, someone or something else will."

Only those who go where few have gone can see what few have seen. I didnt write it, but it definitely helped me get through many moments of my personal detoxification journey. Another one I love is, real change occurs when the pain of staying the same hurts more than whatever it is youre going through."

"Keep going and keep trying.If you fail, just keep going. If youre doing this for your health, just keep going. You will reap the benefits of it."

"I am all about loving your food and loving your life.I understand food is fuel but I am a foodie first. You don't have to eat what you dont like to be healthy. By incorporating healthy foods into your life, you are going to love your life more."

"I really like the perspective that time is not real, from a metaphysical perspective. Its how I healed a lot of my past self-shame and guilt and regret. If I loved myself five minutes ago, shouldn't that apply to myself five years ago, ten years ago, when I was still beating myself up after eating family-sized bags of Cheetos? It really helped me to look at my past self as someone who was doing her best and needed to go through those experiences to feel what I feel now.I can't be mad at myself for eating all those family-sized bags of Cheetos and crying in a closet, I have to hold her and love her. Thats me! If I want to feel better now, I cant hold on to the negative feelings towards the past version of myself, thats me right now. It really helped me to view it like that, that its all me, and the future version of myself, I can be here in two seconds. Thats it, then I'mthere.You dont have to wait in order to feel good. You dont have to wait in order to be happy."

"It's that I walk a little bit more softly on the earth. Whether that's in my interactions with people or interactions with animals, I know that eating this way helps everything and everyone. It helps the environment, it helps the animals, and I know I'm not hurting anyone.That next step for me is to be gentle, generous, and kind, and giving that to the humans I interact with. So it is to walk softly on the earth, or gently. That sort of encompasses everything. My wife and I talk every once in a while, and we ask each other: Would you ever go back to eating certain things. For instance, I loved eggs. I loved meat, but when you think about where these things came from, and those abuses that those animals go through, you cant let go of that idea. For me, that mantra is walk softly on the earth."

"Be kind to every kind, even if it's a rat or a cow. Be kind to every living being, that includestrees, anythingin nature. It's also important to be humble."

""What is.. . not What if." It's a mantra to help manage my anxiety. If you keep saying "What if" you are creating stories in your head of what could happen, good or bad. Saying "What is ..." allows you to stay in the present."

"'Love the life you have while creating the life you want.' Meaning: Never wish you had somebody elses life or body or success or privilege because you dont know what they are dealing with (and everyone is always dealing with something) so never wish you could trade places. Instead of measuring yourself against someone else measure yourself against your best self and then work to achieve your personal goals. But keep it joyful."

"'Be Here Now', as Ram Dass would say.Relivingthe pastmakes you live in a state of regret, andfixatingon the future makes you live in a state of anxiety. True peace is living in the moment, and focusing on what is here now.

'Be the flame, not the moth,' which is a different way to say be the leader, not the follower. This is a phrase my grandmaalways said when I was younger, meaning you should look to your inner self and be your own leading light."

"'It takes no more time to see the good side of life than the bad.' In other words, dont waste your time or energy on looking for the bad when it takes the same time to find the good. For every negative, you can find two positives."

MADIGAN ARMY MEDICAL CENTER, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash. The holiday season is a cherished time of year for many; it brings family and friends together to celebrate, share stories about the present and reminisce about the past. With COVID-19 surging, this year will be different. With precautions necessary to keep our community healthy, people are feeling more distanced than ever.Over time, limited social connection, dwindling recreational activities and increased isolation can affect the mind and body, which are intricately intertwined. Our efforts to limit the spread of the disease, combined with the Pacific Northwest weather, can take a toll. When one area of health is affected, often both are.However, during these extraordinary times there are many things we can do to protect our mental and physical health and ensure we still enjoy the holidays.The medical professionals at Madigan Army Medical Center on Joint-Base Lewis McChord, Wash., are devoted to the health and well-being of their patient population, Service Members and their families, retirees and Reservists. Two of these individuals are Col. Christopher Perry, the chief of the Department of Behavioral Health and Lt. Col. Julie Rylander, who is the chief of the Nutrition Care Division.COVID-19 has perpetuated the fragmentation of society, said Perry, and the holidays will definitely be difficult for many, particularly our single Soldiers.Perry shared his views regarding the strain the pandemic has placed on genuine relationships. He discussed the use of modern day technology to stay in touch with loved ones, while stressing the importance of real human connection made outside of screen time.Humans are, by nature, social creatures; and research in the behavioral health field has shown that increased isolation can be detrimental to our mental health. Some of us are in positions where we still go to work and have some amount of in-person interaction, which can be fulfilling. For those who do not have opportunities for personal interaction, one of the many social media platforms and applications can provide that sense of togetherness during times where people are physically far apart.Our Service Members need to spend time virtually with their family and friends, said Perry. But dont forget to also strive for authentic relationships where you are.Perry said that while many social distancing precautions are necessary, it is important for people to still spend time together within the limits of the current restrictions.He also encouraged people to honor your traditions, even if it must be done from afar this year.One of those traditions might be related to tasty holiday treats that most of us enjoy. Rylander shared her perspective on that topic.Moderation is key, she stated. Having a healthy, well-balanced diet as a base is essential, but dont deny yourself treats this season.A well-balanced diet includes things like lean protein, whole grains, low-fat dairy, fruits and vegetables. Many of us know this, but a proper diet is incredibly important in order to support our performance, mental health and immune system.As the pandemic rages on, many people have looked to nutrition to help boost their immune system. The typical holiday diet for many of us includes desserts, highly processed foods and excess alcohol, but these items are not going to help. These foods cause inflammation in the body and reduce our ability to effectively fight infection. Some of the vitamins and minerals that can boost our immune system include zinc (found in meat, shellfish, legumes, seeds and nuts), vitamin C (found primarily in citrus fruits), and vitamin D (found in fatty fish such as salmon, egg yolks, and red meat).Vitamin D in adequate amounts may be challenging to get in even the best of diets, and is primarily produced from sun exposure. Rylander acknowledged that sunlight exposure in Washington isnt always easy to get, especially at this time of year.Given the winter weather here, she said, it may be beneficial to supplement with vitamin D.People who want information on what vitamin supplements to take should check with their dietitian or other medical professionals.Lastly, but perhaps most importantly, we should remember to care not only for ourselves, but also for others during this time. We may do a fantastic job of maintaining our own mental and physical health, but what about those around us? We are seeing less of each other, which makes the importance of connecting and reaching out that much more critical. Check in on those you love, those you work with, and simply those you know. It could make all the difference.Perry emphasized that sentiment with a reminder.We are our brothers keeper," he said.In the military, that brother is our fellow Service Members, their families, the civilians we work with and the community we serve. We are all responsible for one another.Madigans Social Media Links:Madigans Facebook:www.Facebook.com/MadiganhealthMadigans Twitter:www.Twitter.com/MadiganhealthMadigans Instagram:www.Instagram.com/MadiganmedicineMadigans LinkedIn:www.Linkedin.com/company/madigan-army-medical-center/Madigans YouTube:www.youtube.com/c/MadiganArmyMedicalCenter

In recent research, a group of scientists at the University of Michigan have found that androgen receptors that are used to treat prostate cancer may also be effective against COVID-19 .

The findings of the study, published in the peer-reviewed journal PNAS, suggest that since these drugs are already approved for the treatment of a condition, they can be easily repurposed for COVID-19 treatment.

Androgen receptors are specific proteins present on the surface of certain cells that bind to the male hormones testosterone and dihydrotestosterone.

These receptors play an important role in the growth of prostate cancer. Suppression of androgen receptors is hence one of the many ways used to treat prostate cancer.

ACE2 and TMPRSS2

Previous studies have shown that targeting host factors that interact with SARS-CoV-2 can help manage COVID-19 . In the recent study, the researchers found that androgen receptors in the lungs regulate TMPRSS2. Blocking these receptors reduces the expression of both ACE2 and TMPRSS2.

By now, it is well known that SARS-CoV-2, the COVID-19 causing virus, enters healthy cells in the body through ACE2 receptors present on body cells. However, the virus also uses another cell surface receptor called TMPRSS2 (Transmembrane protease serine 2), an enzyme that cleaves and activates the spike protein of coronavirus .

The researchers used anti-androgen drugs including enzalutamide, apalutamide and darolutamide for the study.

BET proteins

BET proteins are transcription regulators that control various functions in the cells including cell growth and differentiation. They also control inflammation and play a role in androgen signalling.

In addition to androgen suppression, the researchers also studied drugs that degrade BET proteins or inhibit their function. It was found that BET inhibitors suppressed androgen signalling and prevented viral infection.

More androgen signalling in men

The researchers also found more androgen signalling in the lungs of men than women, which they suggested explains why men are more prone to coronavirus disease than women. Additionally, older men (>70 years) who smoke have the highest androgen signalling.

This explains why elderly men who are smokers are more vulnerable to COVID-19 infection. High androgen receptor signalling allows the virus to gain entry and replicate more easily. This may explain why the disease is often particularly severe in older men, said the research author Dr Arul Chinnaiyan in a news release by the University of Michigan.

As per the news release, many clinical trials are already going on to assess the effects of androgen receptor blockers in the treatment of COVID-19 .
