Those domains are responsible for binding host proteins essential for both viral replication and immune evasion ( The principal function attributed to ICP34.5 involves enhancing viral propagation across peripheral tissues alongside central nervous systems, contributing significantly toward HSV, and inducing neurovirulence via various mechanisms including protein phosphatase I (PPI) dephosphorylating eIF2, thus preventing shutoff from host protein synthesis while enabling continuous production ( Moreover, ICP34.5 inhibits antiviral signaling pathways ensuring persistent infections
Further compounding the issue, zinc deficiency has been shown to upregulate the renal Na-Cl cotransporter, which increases sodium retention and further elevates blood pressure [461]

Specifically, the intervention group showed a marked decrease in serum malondialdehyde levels, reduction in the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and increase in catalase levels
