Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme–Derived Angiotensin II Formation During Angiotensin II–Induced Hypertension [PDF]
The extent to which endogenous angiotensin (Ang) II formation is responsible for increasing kidney Ang II content and blood pressure during Ang II–induced hypertension is unknown. To address this, mice were treated with an Ang-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor (ACEi) to block endogenous Ang II formation during chronic Ang II infusions ...

A 73‐Year‐Old Man With Several Years of Difficulty Climbing Stairs and Frequent Tripping
ABSTRACT A 73‐year‐old man presented with progressive weakness and atrophy predominantly affecting the distal finger flexors and quadriceps muscles. Electrophysiological studies demonstrated mixed myogenic and neurogenic features. Muscle MRI showed inflammatory changes, and muscle biopsy revealed granulomatous myositis with histologic features ...

Whey-derived peptides interactions with ACE by molecular docking as a potential predictive tool of natural ACE inhibitors [PDF]
Several milk/whey derived peptides possess high in vitro angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity. However, in some cases, poor correlation between the in vitro ACE inhibitory activity and the in vivo antihypertensive activity has been ...

Objective We investigated whether a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) affects the quality of inpatient acute myocardial infarction (AMI) care and long‐term mortality post‐AMI. Methods We analyzed data from 784,091 adults, 6,047 with a diagnosis of RA, from England and Wales hospitalized with AMI between 2005 and 2019 from the Myocardial Ischaemia ...

Angiotensin System Autoantibodies Correlate With Routine Prognostic Indicators for COVID-19 Severity
ObjectiveWe previously showed that angiotensin type-1 receptor and ACE2 autoantibodies (AT1-AA, ACE2-AA) are associated with COVID-19 severity. Our aim is to find correlations of these autoantibodies with routine biochemical parameters that allow an ...
