ac magnetic response of mesoscopic type-II superconductors [PDF]
Physical Review B, 2002 The response of mesoscopic superconductors to an ac magnetic field is numerically investigated on the basis of the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equations (TDGL). We study the dependence with frequency $ $ and dc magnetic field $H_{dc}$ of the linear ac susceptibility $ (H_{dc}, )$ in square samples with dimensions of the order of the London ...

Tissue-specific expression of transgenic secreted ACE in vasculature can restore normal kidney functions, but not blood pressure, of Ace-/- mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) regulates normal blood pressure and fluid homeostasis through its action in the renin-angiotensin-system (RAS). Ace-/- mice are smaller in size, have low blood pressure and defective kidney structure and functions. All

Angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion polymorphism does not influence the restenosis rate after coronary stent implantation [PDF]
, 2002 Background. Experimental studies have shown an activation of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) system as a response to endothelial injury. Recent publications have elucidated the hypothesis that the ACE gene polymorphism may influence the level of ...

Angiotensin-I-Converting Enzyme and its Relatives [PDF]
, 2011 Angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) is a monomeric, membrane-bound, zinc- and chloridedependent peptidyl dipeptidase that catalyzes the conversion of the decapeptide angiotensin I to the octapeptide angiotensin II, by removing a carboxy-terminal ...

Cu(II) complex formation by ACES buffer
Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry, 2013 ACES (N-(2-Acetamido)-2-aminoethanesulfonic acid), a popular Good's buffer, binds Cu(II) ions with a moderate affinity. Although this interaction was the subject of previous studies, no consensus in the literature was found. We used potentiometry to establish binding constants, and controlled the potentiometric model selection and binding constant ...

Tissue Angiotensin II Generating System by Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme and Chymase
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2006 .: It had been believed that angiotensin II (Ang II) was produced by the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), which was established in the 1950’s. After a while, people realized that the multiple functions of Ang II could not be explained by the conventional ...

AT1 receptor A/C1166 polymorphism contributes to cardiac hypertrophy in subjects with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy [PDF]
, 1998 The development of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in subjects with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is variable, suggesting a role for modifying factors such as angiotensin II. We investigated whether the angiotensin

High glucose concentration stimulates intracellular renin activity and angiotensin II generation in rat mesangial cells [PDF]
, 2004 Increased intrarenal renin-angiotensin system activity contributes to diabetic nephropathy. ANG II generation in mesangial cells (MC) is increased by high-glucose (HG) exposure.
