Role of angiotensin-converting enzyme in myeloid cell immune responses
Cellular & Molecular Biology Letters, 2020 Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), a dicarboxypeptidase, plays a major role in the regulation of blood pressure by cleaving angiotensin I into angiotensin II (Ang II), a potent vasoconstrictor.

High Sodium Intake Strengthens the Association of ACE I/D Polymorphism with Blood Pressure in a Community [PDF]
, 2007 BackgroundLimited evidence is available on a gene–environment interaction of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene I/D polymorphism and high blood pressure (BP) with salt intake among general populations. We hypothesized that persons with the I allele

Pulmonary midkine inhibition ameliorates sepsis induced lung injury
Journal of Translational Medicine, 2021 Background Midkine is a multi-functional molecule participating in a various key pathological process. We aimed to evaluate the change of midkine in sepsis and its association with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) system, as well as the mechanism by ...

Annihilator Banach ∗-algebras and the Peter-Weyl theorem [PDF]
, 1976 The QUO VADIS (the effects of QUinapril On Vascular Ace and Determinants of ISchemia) study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial designed to evaluate the effects of long-term angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition on ...

POLYMORPHISM IN THE ANGIOTENSIN-CONVERTING ENZYME (ACE) GENE AND ACE ACTIVITY IN TYPE 2 DIABETIC PATIENTS [PDF]
Acta Medica Iranica, 2008 "nDiabetes mellitus is a multifactorial disease. It has recently been shown that an insertion (I)/deletion (D) polymorphism exists in the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene that can affect the serum ACE level. There are three genotypes: DD, DI,

The Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Insertion/Deletion Polymorphism Modifies Exercise-Induced Muscle Metabolism. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 OBJECTIVE:A silencer region (I-allele) within intron 16 of the gene for the regulator of vascular perfusion, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), is implicated in phenotypic variation of aerobic fitness and the development of type II diabetes.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Pediatric patients with extracranial solid tumors (ST) receiving chemotherapy are at an increased risk for Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP). However, evidence guiding prophylaxis practices in this population is limited. A PJP‐related fatality at our institution highlighted inconsistent prescribing approaches and concerns about

Bi-directional actions of estrogen on the renin-angiotensin system
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1999 Estrogen stimulates the renin-angiotensin system by augmenting both tissue and circulating levels of angiotensinogen and renin. We show, however, that angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity in the circulation and in tissues is reduced in two animal

Sickle Cell Disease Is an Inherent Risk for Asthma in a Sibling Comparison Study
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Sickle cell disease (SCD) and asthma share a complex relationship. Although estimates vary, asthma prevalence in children with SCD is believed to be comparable to or higher than the general population. Determining whether SCD confers an increased risk for asthma remains challenging due to overlapping symptoms and the ...
