Renin and angiotensin converting enzyme in elasmobranchs
General and Comparative Endocrinology, 1992Renin-like activity (RLA) and angiotensin I converting enzyme-like activity (ACELA), the two key enzymes of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), were sought in the elasmobranch Scyliorhinus canicula. Renal extracts were desalted in a G-25 and eluted in a G-100 Sephadex column (calibration 15,000-70,000).

The angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)
The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 2003Angiotensin converting enzyme 1, found widely throughout the animal kingdom, is an integral membrane bound protein whose active sites are directed to the extracellular spaces. Two isoforms are expressed in mammals, a single domain germinal isoform required for male fertility, and a double domain somatic isoform which has a key role in the renin ...

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors
2001Publisher Summary Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors were first studied clinically in the 1970s. ACE inhibitors were discovered by taking advantage of previous basic research on the physiology of sodium, potassium, and water homeostasis and blood pressure regulation, in a reciprocal way ACE have also advanced research in this field, and ...

Angiotensin‐Converting Enzyme in Sarcoidosis
Acta Medica Scandinavica, 1979ABSTRACT Using a spectrophotometric assay with l‐hippuryl‐l‐histidyl‐l‐leucine as substrate, s‐angio‐tensin‐converting enzyme (SACE) was determined in 85 sarcoidosis patients, 116 healthy controls and 150 patients with various non‐sarcoid diseases. The controls showed no sex or age variation and had SACE levels of 24.4±6.2 U/ml (mean ± 1 S.D.), giving ...

Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors
Medical Clinics of North America, 1987In summary, ACE inhibitors are effective in reducing blood pressure as initial therapy in some hypertensive patients and in combination with diuretics and other agents in virtually all hypertensives. ACE inhibitors are uniquely advantageous because of their favorable hemodynamic effects, the lack of adverse metabolic effects, and their ability to ...

Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors
AACN Advanced Critical Care, 1992The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors available today include Captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec), enaloprilat (Vasotec IV), lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril), benazepril (Lotensin), fosinopril (Monopril), and ramipril (Atace). These drugs are used in the treatment of hypertension and congestive heart failure.

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 1986
Abstract Serial assay of serum angiotensin-converting enzyme concentrations (SACE) is advocated for monitoring disease progress in sarcoidosis. Because little is known of nondisease factors affecting SACE, 10 patients with histologically proved sarcoidosis were assessed for diurnal fluctuation in SACE and as to whether a large dose of

Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology, 1992
SUMMARY1. The effects of angiotensin‐converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors on the tissue ACE were assessed by quantitative in vitro autoradiography after acute and chronic administrations of the drugs.2. Following acute administration of lisinopril, perindopril or benazepril, ACE was markedly inhibited in the lung, kidney and blood vessels but not in the ...

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition and prostaglandins
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1982To determine whether prostaglandins contribute to the depressor response of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, plasma prostaglandin levels were measured by radioimmunoassay in normo- and hypertensive subjects on both sodium-restricted and sodium-loaded diets before and after captopril administration.

Enzymes in Sarcoidosis: Angiotensin-Converting-Enzyme (ACE)
Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 1989Measurement of serum angiotensin-converting-enzyme (SACE) is the most useful test for diagnosing and monitoring disease activity in sarcoidosis. Because elevated levels of SACE are not specific for sarcoidosis, other conditions in which SACE levels are also elevated are examined.
