Novel findings: Expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme and angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 in thoracic aortic dissection and aneurysm [PDF]

Journal of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System, 2014
Introduction: Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and ACE2 are key regulators of the renin–angiotensin system, which has been shown to participate in a series of cardiovascular diseases. We hypothesized that dysregulated gene expression of ACE and ACE2 contribute to the formation of thoracic aortic dissection ...

Debatable points of using angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor antagonists in patients with COVID-19

Кардиоваскулярная терапия и профилактика, 2020
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) in Disease Pathogenesis

Circulation Journal, 2010
Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), a first homolog of ACE, regulates the renin-angiotensin system by counterbalancing ACE activity. Accumulating evidence in recent years has demonstrated a physiological and pathological role of ACE2 in the cardiovascular, renal and respiratory systems. For instance, in the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)

The Lung, the Heart, the Novel Coronavirus, and the Renin-Angiotensin System; The Need for Clinical Trials

Frontiers in Medicine, 2020
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 ...

Urinary Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2 Increases in Patients With Type 2 Diabetic Mellitus

Kidney & Blood Pressure Research, 2015
Background/Aims: Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is highly expressed in the kidney and recognized to be renoprotective by degrading Angiotensin II to Angiotensin (1-7) in diabetic nephropathy.

Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme and Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 Are Involved in Sinoaortic Denervation-Induced Cardiovascular Hypertrophy in Rats

Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 2011
The balance of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) in high blood pressure variability (BPV) induced cardiovascular hypertrophy remains elusive. The aim of the present work was to investigate expression and activity of ACE and ACE2 in the heart and aorta of sinoaortic denervation (SAD) rats with high BPV and ...
