Abstract

COVID-19 is a viral disease that affects the whole world, is seriously contagious and affects the respiratory system. Theimmune system protects the organism against pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, fungi. Although always active,the effectiveness of the immune system increases when the organism meets the pathogen. A number of vitaminsand minerals help the immune system to function properly. Molecules called free radicals highly reactive, potentiallyharmful that are capable of stabilizing molecules are called antioxidants. The ability of antioxidants to reduce theload of excessive free radicals helps maintain the structural integrity of tissues and cells in the immune system aswell as other systems in the body. Vitamins A, C, E cannot be synthesized in the body and vitamin D needs sun raysto be synthesized in the body and these have important functions in the full fulfillment of immune function and areessential nutrients with antioxidant properties. Each of these nutrients has its own functions. In this study, it is aimedto give information about the roles of antioxidant vitamins in supporting the immune system in COVID-19 pandemic.

Özet

COVID-19 tüm dünyayı etkisi altına almış olan, ciddi şekilde bulaşıcı ve solunum sistemini etkileyen viral bir hastalıktır.Bağışıklık sistemi virüs, bakteri, mantar gibi patojenlere karşı organizmayı korur. Her zaman aktif olmasına rağmen,organizmanın patojen ile karşılaştığında bağışıklık sisteminin etkinliği artar. Bir takım vitamin ve mineraller bağışıklıksisteminin sağlıklı bir şekilde işlemesine yardımcıdır. Serbest radikaller olarak adlandırılan, oldukça reaktif, potansiyelolarak zararlı molekülleri stabilize etme yeteneğine sahip moleküllere antioksidan denir. Antioksidanların fazla miktardabulunan serbest radikallerin yükünü azaltma özelliği, vücuttaki diğer sistemlerin yanı sıra bağışıklık sistemindekidoku ve hücrelerin de yapısal bütünlüğünü korumaya yardım eder. A, C, E vitaminleri vücutta sentezlenemeyen veD vitamini ise vücutta sentezlenmesi için güneş ışınlarına ihtiyaç duyan, bağışıklık fonsiyonunun tam olarak yerinegetirilmesinde önemli görevleri olan antioksidan özelliğe sahip esansiyel besin öğeleridir. Bu besin öğelerinin herbirinin kendine özgü işlevleri vardır. Bu çalışmada COVID-19 pandemisinde bağışıklık sisteminin desteklenmesindeantioksidan vitaminlerin rolleri ile ilgili bilgi verilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
