The COVID-19 pandemic is a serious threat to global health. The infection mechanism is the binding of SARS-CoV-2 to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and internalization of the complex by the host cell.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is the receptor for COVID-19 (SARs-CoV-2). ACE2 protects the lung and heart from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and acute myocarditis and arrhythmias, because it breaks down Angiotensin II, which has ...

Attenuation of Focal Cerebral Ischemic Injury Following Post Ischemic Inhibition of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Activity in Normotensive Rat [PDF]
Central renin angiotensin system has an important role on the cerebral microcirculation and metabolism. Our previous work showed that inhibition of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity prior to induction of ischemia protected the brain from ...

Angiotensin converting enzyme and vascular endothelial growth factor responses to exercise training in claudicants: the role of ace inhibition [PDF]
Exercise training is well recognised as an effective treatment for intermittent claudication. The mechanism underlying exercise induced improvements is multi-factorial but remains poorly understood.

Adenoviral delivery of angiotensin-(1-7) or angiotensin-(1-9) inhibits cardiomyocyte hypertrophy via the mas or angiotensin Type 2 receptor [PDF]
The counter-regulatory axis of the renin angiotensin system peptide angiotensin-(1-7) [Ang-(1-7)] has been identified as a potential therapeutic target in cardiac remodelling, acting via the mas receptor.
