Impact of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition on post- coronary artery bypass interleukin 6 release [PDF]

, 2002
Background: Angiotensin 1 converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors reduce morbidity and mortality after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). This benefit may result from an anti- inflammatory action.

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 ...

The influence of Angiotensin converting enzyme and angiotensinogen gene polymorphisms on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Some studies have reported that angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and angiotensinogen (AGT) genes have been associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). However, there have been inconsonant results among different studies.

Tissue Angiotensin II Generating System by Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme and Chymase

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2006
.: It had been believed that angiotensin II (Ang II) was produced by the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), which was established in the 1950’s. After a while, people realized that the multiple functions of Ang II could not be explained by the conventional ...

New Approaches to Blockade of the Renin–Angiotensin–Aldosterone System: Evidence From Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors and Angiotensin II–Receptor Blockers — Questions Remain Unsolved

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2010
Recent randomized controlled trials showed that blockade of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS) by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin II–receptor blockers (ARBs) reduced cardiovascular and renal events.

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).

Studies on Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Insertion/Deletion Polymorphism and Genotype Distributions in Turkish Preeclampsia Patients

Journal of Pregnancy, 2012
Placental, immune and genetic factors are thought to play an important role in preeclampia (PE)’s pathophysiology. Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) plays a vital role in the renin-angiotensin-system (RAS) which regulates blood pressure by converting ...

Angiotensin-converting enzyme I/D polymorphism and preeclampsia risk: Evidence of small-study bias [PDF]

, 2006
Background Inappropriate activation of the renin-angiotensin system may play a part in the development of preeclampsia. An insertion/deletion polymorphism within the angiotensin-I converting enzyme gene (ACE-I/D) has shown to be reliably associated with ...
