ABSTRACT
Disruption of immune and neuroendocrine system function has been shown to play a key role in COVID-19. Oxytocin is vitally important for the immune and neuroendocrine systems. However, oxytocin dysfunction might occur in COVID-19 leading to autoimmune disease. Intranasal oxytocin may be effective in turning off an overactive immune system. This could be a powerful approach to avoid possible autoimmune diseases after COVID-19.
