A comprehensive review has therefore been planned to highlight the beneficial role of fasting in immunity and autophagy, that underlie the possible defense against SARS-CoV-2 infection. In this review, we revisit the current knowledge of fasting as a possible important mediator that is involved in the diverse pathophysiological phenomena, including host immune response, autophagy, and the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 infection. During adaptive immunity, autophagy plays an important role in major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-antigen presentation, lymphocyte development, thymic selection, inflammatory signaling, and cytokine regulation [10] . ./cache/cord-338541-0yiuh017.txt ./txt/cord-338541-0yiuh017.txt
