Impact of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition on post- coronary artery bypass interleukin 6 release [PDF]

, 2002
Background: Angiotensin 1 converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors reduce morbidity and mortality after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). This benefit may result from an anti- inflammatory action.

The ACE2/angiotensin-(1-7)/MAS axis of the renin-angiotensin system: focus on angiotensin-(1-7)

, 2018
The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is a key player in the control of the cardiovascular system and hydroelectrolyte balance, with an influence on organs and functions throughout the body.

Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 Activation Is Not a Common Feature of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitory Peptides

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) catalyzes the formation of angiotensin II (Ang II), a vasoconstrictor, whereas its homologue ACE2 degrades Ang II into angiotensin (1–7) (Ang (1–7)), a vasodilator.

Upregulation of hepatic angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and angiotensin-(1-7) levels in experimental biliary fibrosis

, 2007
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), its product, angiotensin-(1-7) and its receptor, Mas, may moderate the adverse effects of angiotensin II in liver disease.

Comparative effects of angiotensin-(1-7) and angiotensin II on piglet pial arterioles.

, 1993
Recent investigations indicated that degradation fragments of angiotensins could be involved in the regulation of the cerebral circulation and that their effects might be mediated by prostaglandins. The present study was designed to examine the effect of

Angiotensin Ii Does Not Influence Expression of Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Ca2 + Atpase in Atrial Myocytes

, 2011
Introduction. The sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA) is essential for the regulation of the intracellular calcium level in cardiomyocytes. Previous studies have found that angiotensin 11 (Ang II) decreased SERCA2 gene expression in ventricular ...

Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2, angiotensin-(1-7) and Mas: new players of the renin angiotensin system

, 2013
Angiotensin(Ang)-(1-7) is now recognized as a biologically active component of renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Ang-(1-7) appears to play a central role in the RAS because it exerts a vast array of actions, many of them opposite to those attributed to the
