Pneumonia Risk and Use of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors and Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers

, 2014
Background: Recent studies have shown that use of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors may decrease pneumonia risk in various populations. We investigated the effect of ACE inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) on pneumonia ...

The association of angiotensin-converting enzyme gene insertion/deletion polymorphisms with OSA: a meta-analysis

, 2014
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is an independent risk factor for hypertension. Increased angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity may be a possible promoting mechanism with different ACE insertion/deletion (I/D) genotypes influencing this activity ...

Imbalance Between Pulmonary Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme and Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 Activity in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

, 2013
Objective: Angiotensin-converting enzyme and its effector peptide angiotensin II have been implicated in the pathogenesis of acute respiratory distress syndrome. Recently, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 was identified as the counter-regulatory enzyme of

Plant-Derived Substances as ACE Inhibitors - Biosynthesis-Activity Relationship of Flavonoids, Terpenes and Sterols on Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Activity in Human Endothelial Cells

, 2009
Flavonoids, carotenoids and tocopherols are antioxidants with alleged positive effect on the cardiovascular system. To investigate other possible pharmacological mechanisms, we examined common substances from these groups and others derived from the same

Three angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors from Rabdosia coetsa

, 2008
The EtOAc extract of Rabdosia coetsa showed angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity. Bioassay-guided isolation of this extract yielded ethyl caffeate (1), rosmarinic acid (2) and methyl rosmarinate (3), which inhibited ACE activity by 32 ...
