Association of Use of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors and Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers With Testing Positive for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).

JAMA cardiology, 2020
Importance The role of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB) in the setting of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is hotly debated.

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 ...

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 ...

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)

Association of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitor or Angiotensin Receptor Blocker Use With COVID-19 Diagnosis and Mortality.

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2020
Importance It has been hypothesized that angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs)/angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) may make patients more susceptible to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and to worse outcomes through upregulation of the ...

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 ...

Hypothesis: angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers may increase the risk of severe COVID-19

Journal of Travel Medicine, 2020
Highlight Intravenous infusions of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) in experimental animals increase the numbers of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors in the cardiopulmonary ...

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.

Angiotensins Lung Converting Enzyme

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1973
SummaryElevated systolic blood pressure was reduced to normal after treatment with CCl4. Histological study of liver tissue primarily showed fatty metamorphosis in all the treated animals but cirrhotic changes in only 5 animals. Injection of angiotensin I produced an immediate pressor rise in renal CCl4 treated rats showing no inhibition of lung ...

Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 protects from severe acute lung failure

Nature, 2005
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), the most severe form of acute lung injury, is a devastating clinical syndrome with a high mortality rate (30–60%) (refs 1–3). Predisposing factors for ARDS are diverse and include sepsis, aspiration, pneumonias
