Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2020 Background An angiotensin‐converting enzyme (ACE) gene polymorphism occurs in dogs; however, functional importance is not well studied. Hypothesis We hypothesized that dogs with the polymorphism would show alternative renin‐angiotensin aldosterone system

Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme and Heart Failure
Frontiers 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 ...

, 2021 Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is well known for its dual actions to convert inactive Ang I to active Ang II, and degrades active bradykinin (BK), which plays an important role in controlling blood pressure. Because it is the bottleneck step for the production of pressor Ang II, it was targeted pharmacologically in the 1970s.

Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors [PDF]
Circulation, 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 ...

Serum angiotensin converting enzyme in pemphigus vulgaris
Indian 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.

Isolation of Bat Sarbecoviruses, Japan
Emerging 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.
