Angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion polymorphism does not influence the restenosis rate after coronary stent implantation [PDF]

, 2002
Background. Experimental studies have shown an activation of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) system as a response to endothelial injury. Recent publications have elucidated the hypothesis that the ACE gene polymorphism may influence the level of ...

DNA methylation analysis of the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene in major depression. [PDF]

, 2012
The angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) has been repeatedly discussed as susceptibility factor for major depression (MD) and the bi-directional relation between MD and cardiovascular disorders (CVD).

Soluble angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 association with lipid metabolism

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
Increased expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is one of the likely explanations for disease severity in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In this study, we aimed to test whether soluble ACE2 (sACE2) levels are correlated

Structural determinants for binding to angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and angiotensin receptors

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2015
Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a zinc carboxypeptidase involved in the renin angiotensin system (RAS) and inactivates the potent vasopressive peptide angiotensin II (Ang II) by removing the C-terminal phenylalanine residue to yield Ang1-7 ...

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

Clinics, 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 ...
