Pocket ACEs: Discovering new function within an old player

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is canonically known for its role in the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) where its conversion of angiotensin I (Ang I) to the bioactive peptide angiotensin II (Ang II) helps to regulate blood pressure, electrolyte, and ...

Olmesartan potentiates the anti-angiogenic effect of sorafenib in mice bearing Ehrlich's ascites carcinoma: role of angiotensin (1-7). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Local renin-angiotensin systems exist in various malignant tumor tissues; this suggests that the main effector peptide, angiotensin II, could act as a key factor in tumor growth.

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 ...

Intrarenal Conversion of Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II in the Dog [PDF]

Circulation Research, 1971
Effects of close intra-arterial injections of angiotensins I and II on changes in renal blood flow and renal vascular resistance were studied in dogs anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium. In the first series of experiments, angiotensin I (0.375 µg) or angiotensin II (0.13 µg) decreased renal blood flow and pressures in a small renal cortical vein and

Angiotensin-converting enzyme genotype and late respiratory complications of mustard gas exposure [PDF]

, 2008
Exposure to mustard gas frequently results in long-term respiratory complications. However the factors which drive the development and progression of these complications remain unclear.

Renin angiotensin aldosterone system in anaphylactic reactions induced by immunotherapy

Allergology International, 1998
Although patients with a history of hymenoptera venom anaphylaxis showed significantly reduced plasma levels of angiotensin-I and angiotensin-II compared to controls, there is no study in the literature to investigate the renin angiotensin aldosterone ...

Adenoviral delivery of angiotensin-(1-7) or angiotensin-(1-9) inhibits cardiomyocyte hypertrophy via the mas or angiotensin Type 2 receptor [PDF]

, 2012
The counter-regulatory axis of the renin angiotensin system peptide angiotensin-(1-7) [Ang-(1-7)] has been identified as a potential therapeutic target in cardiac remodelling, acting via the mas receptor.

The systemic renin-angiotensin system in COVID-19

Scientific Reports, 2022
SARS-CoV-2 gains cell entry via angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) 2, a membrane-bound enzyme of the “alternative” (alt) renin-angiotensin system (RAS). ACE2 counteracts angiotensin II by converting it to potentially protective angiotensin 1–7.

Tripeptide IRW Improves AMPK/eNOS Signaling Pathway via Activating ACE2 in the Aorta of High-Fat-Diet-Fed C57BL/6 Mice

Biology, 2023
This study aims to investigate the effect of tripeptide IRW on the local renin–angiotensin system (RAS), particularly angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), and their association with signaling pathways in the aorta of a high-fat-diet (HFD)-induced ...

Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitor Does Not Suppress Renal Angiotensin II Levels in Angiotensin I–Infused Rats

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2013
Angiotensin II (Ang II) infusion into rats elevates local angiotensin II levels through an AT1 receptor–dependent pathway in the kidney. We examined whether treatment with an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, temocapril, or an AT1-receptor ...
