Angiotensin converting enzyme

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE), is a zinc containing metallopeptidase, best known for its role in the conversion of Ang I in the active peptide Ang II, which plays a pivotal role in the blood pressure (BP) regulation trough the Renin Angiotensin System (RAS). In the last decades RAS has been deeply studied in all its aspects and implications.

From gene to protein - experimental and clinical studies of ACE2 in blood pressure control and arterial hypertension

Frontiers in Physiology, 2014
Hypertension is a major risk factor for stroke, coronary events, heart and renal failure, and the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays a major role in its pathogenesis.

Impact of empiric potassium supplementation on mortality, sudden cardiac arrest and stroke in furosemide initiators

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim A prior non‐randomized study suggests that potassium supplementation may improve survival among furosemide initiators, and a randomized trial suggests that salt substitutes containing potassium might lower stroke risk. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using health‐care data to confirm or refute these associations among new users of ...

RBD‐SD1 Nanoparticle Vaccines From DPP4‐Using Merbecoviruses Elicit a Cross‐Reactive Antibody Response but Limited Cross‐Protective Immunity

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
SpyCatcher‐mi3 nanoparticles displaying RBD‐SD1 from MERS‐CoV, NL140422, and HKU4 elicited robust and cross‐reactive IgG responses in mice. Only MERS‐CoV RBD‐SD1 induced neutralizing antibodies against MERS‐CoV and protected human DPP4 mice from a MERS‐CoV challenge, indicating conserved serologic but limited cross‐neutralizing epitopes.

Intraosseous sarcoidosis imitating peri‐implantitis: A case study

Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disorder of unknown cause, typically affecting the lungs and lymph nodes, but it can also involve the eyes, skin, heart, bones, and other organs. The exact cause is unclear, but genetic factors and environmental triggers like infections, chemicals, or dust may play a role.

Mechanisms of the antihypertensive effects of Nigella sativa oil in L-NAME-induced hypertensive rats

Clinics, 2015
OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted to determine whether the blood pressure-lowering effect of Nigella sativa might be mediated by its effects on nitric oxide, angiotensin-converting enzyme, heme oxygenase and oxidative stress markers.

Mitral Transcatheter Edge‐to‐Edge Repair in Patients With Advanced Heart Failure: A Single‐Center Experience and Insights Into Anatomical and Clinical Determinants of Procedural Complexity

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Advanced heart failure (HF) remains a clinical challenge, and mitral transcatheter edge‐to‐edge repair (M‐TEER) has emerged as a potential bridging strategy. Aims To describe the clinical outcomes of M‐TEER in a single‐center cohort of patients with advanced HF and to identify anatomical and clinical features potentially associated ...
