Angiotensin-converting Enzyme Genetic Polymorphism

open access: yesArquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2014
Sir Editor, The recent report on "angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) genetic polymorphism." is very interesting. Albuquerque et al.1 concluded that "the DD genotype was independently associated with worse echocardiographic outcome, while the DI genotype, with best echocardiographic profile." In fact, the polymorphism of ACE is different in ...

Dietary Potassium Downregulates Angiotensin-I Converting Enzyme, Renin, and Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
BackgroundThe importance of dietary potassium in health and disease has been underestimated compared with that placed on dietary sodium. Larger effort has been made on reduction of sodium intake and less on the adequate dietary potassium intake, although

Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation, 1998
Abstract—ACE inhibitors have achieved widespread usage in the treatment of cardiovascular and renal disease. ACE inhibitors alter the balance between the vasoconstrictive, salt-retentive, and hypertrophic properties of angiotensin II (Ang II) and the vasodilatory and natriuretic properties of bradykinin and alter the metabolism of a number of other ...
