Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme and Heart Failure

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2023
Pharmacotherapy is the cornerstone treatment for patients with heart failure (HF) that uses drugs targeting the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), including angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs ...

Signaling by the Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation Research, 2006
Inhibition of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) protects against the progression of several cardiovascular diseases. Because of its dual role in regulating angiotensin II and bradykinin levels, the positive clinical effects of ACE inhibitors were thought to be the consequence of concomitant reductions in the production of angiotensin II and the ...

Serum angiotensin converting enzyme in pemphigus vulgaris

open access: yesIndian Journal of Dermatology, 2014
Background: Pemphigus vulgaris is an autoimmune blistering skin disease with unknown etiology. Drugs such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors may contribute in the pathogenesis of pemphigus.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme and male fertility [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1998
The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE; EC3.4.15.1) gene (Ace) encodes both a somatic isozyme found in blood and several other tissues, including the epididymis, and a testis-specific isozyme (testis ACE) found only in developing spermatids and mature sperm.

A continuous fluorescent assay for the determination of plasma and tissue angiotensin I-converting enzyme activity

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2005
A continuous assay using internally quenched fluorescent peptides with the general sequence Abz-peptidyl-(Dnp)P-OH (Abz = ortho-aminobenzoic acid; Dnp = 2,4-dinitrophenyl) was optimized for the measurement of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) in ...

Angiotensin converting enzyme 1 in the median preoptic nucleus contributes to chronic intermittent hypoxia hypertension

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, 2017
Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Chronic intermittent hypoxia is used to model the arterial hypoxemia seen in sleep apnea patients and is associated with increased sympathetic nerve activity and a ...

ACE gene dosage determines additional autonomic dysfunction and increases renal angiotensin II levels in diabetic mice

open access: yesClinics, 2018
OBJECTIVES: The present study aimed to investigate cardiovascular autonomic modulation and angiotensin II (Ang II) activity in diabetic mice that were genetically engineered to harbor two or three copies of the angiotensin-converting enzyme gene ...

Isolation of Bat Sarbecoviruses, Japan

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2022
Surveillance of bat betacoronaviruses is crucial for understanding their spillover potential. We isolated bat sarbecoviruses from Rhinolophus cornutus bats in multiple locations in Japan. These viruses grew efficiently in cells expressing R.

Enalaprilat and losartan decrease erythroid precursors frequency in cells from patients with polycythemia vera

open access: yesHematology, 2023
Objective: Polycythemia Vera (PV) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by the overproduction of red blood cells. First-line therapies are directed at lowering hematocrit levels. After the discovery of a mutation in the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2V617F)
