The cause is a restriction of the activity of cytochrome P450 CYP3A4 in the CYP enzyme system in the liver induced by pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-6, TNF-, and IL-1Ra), an effect that is stronger at high concentrations of these cytokines (i.e., during highly perturbated and excessive inflammatory events) [18,19,20,21]
As such, it appears that COVID-19 (and other viral infectious diseases) is accompanied by three different inflammatory phases: (a) beneficial protective inflammation, which combats the infection and may mount a restorative repair, (b) hyperinflammation, which may lead to a cytokine storm and critical disease or even death, and (c) non-resolving inflammation resulting in a protracted mild inflammatory state [105] as observed in Long COVID
