The SARS-CoV-2 receptor, ACE-2, is expressed on many different cell types: implications for ACE-inhibitor- and angiotensin II receptor blocker-based cardiovascular therapies

Internal and Emergency Medicine, 2020
SARS-CoV-2 is characterized by a spike protein allowing viral binding to the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)-2, which acts as a viral receptor and is expressed on the surface of several pulmonary and extra-pulmonary cell types, including cardiac ...

Physical Activity and Inhibition of ACE Additively Modulate ACE/ACE-2 Balance in Heart Failure in Mice

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition (ACE-I) and physical activity favorably modulate the ACE/ACE-2 balance. However, it is not clear whether physical activity and ACE-I could synergistically modulate ACE/ACE-2 balance in the course of heart failure (

A genome-wide search replicates evidence of a quantitative trait locus for circulating angiotensisn l-converting enzyme (ACE) unlinked to the ACE gene [PDF]

, 2008
Background: angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) plays an important role in cardiovascular homeostasis. There is evidence from different ethnic groups that circulating ACE levels are influenced by a quantitative trait locus (QTL) at the ACE gene on ...

Reduced blood pressure in sickle cell disease is associated with decreased angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity and is not modulated by ACE inhibition.

PLoS ONE, 2022
BackgroundSickle cell disease (SCD) incurs vaso-occlusive episodes and organ damage, including nephropathy. Despite displaying characteristics of vascular dysfunction, SCD patients tend to present relatively lower systemic blood pressure (BP), via an ...
