Onset of experimental severe cardiac fibrosis is mediated by overexpression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 [PDF]

, 2009
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) 2 is a recently identified homologue of ACE. There is great interest in the therapeutic benefit for ACE2 overexpression in the heart.

Formation of angiotensin III by angiotensin-converting enzyme [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1976
Angiotensin III is formed from des-Asp1 -angiotensin I by angiotensin-converting enzyme. The Km (11 muM) of the reaction is one-third of that for the conversion of angiotensin I into angiotensin II. As suggested by the Km values, bradykinin, peptide BPP9a and angiotensins II and III are better inhibitors of the formation of angiotensin II than of the ...

Isolation of Bat Sarbecoviruses, Japan

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022
Surveillance of bat betacoronaviruses is crucial for understanding their spillover potential. We isolated bat sarbecoviruses from Rhinolophus cornutus bats in multiple locations in Japan. These viruses grew efficiently in cells expressing R.

A continuous fluorescent assay for the determination of plasma and tissue angiotensin I-converting enzyme activity

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2005
A continuous assay using internally quenched fluorescent peptides with the general sequence Abz-peptidyl-(Dnp)P-OH (Abz = ortho-aminobenzoic acid; Dnp = 2,4-dinitrophenyl) was optimized for the measurement of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) in ...

Angiotensin converting enzyme 1 in the median preoptic nucleus contributes to chronic intermittent hypoxia hypertension

Physiological Reports, 2017
Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Chronic intermittent hypoxia is used to model the arterial hypoxemia seen in sleep apnea patients and is associated with increased sympathetic nerve activity and a ...

ACE gene dosage determines additional autonomic dysfunction and increases renal angiotensin II levels in diabetic mice

Clinics, 2018
OBJECTIVES: The present study aimed to investigate cardiovascular autonomic modulation and angiotensin II (Ang II) activity in diabetic mice that were genetically engineered to harbor two or three copies of the angiotensin-converting enzyme gene ...

Enalaprilat and losartan decrease erythroid precursors frequency in cells from patients with polycythemia vera

Hematology, 2023
Objective: Polycythemia Vera (PV) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by the overproduction of red blood cells. First-line therapies are directed at lowering hematocrit levels. After the discovery of a mutation in the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2V617F)

Angiotensin-converting enzyme and male fertility [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1998
The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE; EC3.4.15.1) gene (Ace) encodes both a somatic isozyme found in blood and several other tissues, including the epididymis, and a testis-specific isozyme (testis ACE) found only in developing spermatids and mature sperm.

Evaluation of the Association between Multilobar Involvement and ACE Inhibitor Use in SARS-CoV-2 Patients

Haseki Tıp Bülteni, 2023
Aim:Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) acts not only as an enzyme but also as a thought to be central receptor by which severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) enters host cells.

A genome-wide search replicates evidence of a quantitative trait locus for circulating angiotensisn l-converting enzyme (ACE) unlinked to the ACE gene [PDF]

, 2008
Background: angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) plays an important role in cardiovascular homeostasis. There is evidence from different ethnic groups that circulating ACE levels are influenced by a quantitative trait locus (QTL) at the ACE gene on ...
