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 ...

Potential harmful effects of discontinuing ACE-inhibitors and ARBs in COVID-19 patients
The discovery of angiotensin converting enzyme-2 (ACE-2) as the receptor for SARS- CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2) has implicated the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and ...

Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2: SARS-CoV-2 Receptor and Regulator of the Renin-Angiotensin System
ACE2 (angiotensin-converting enzyme 2) has a multiplicity of physiological roles that revolve around its trivalent function: a negative regulator of the renin-angiotensin system, facilitator of amino acid transport, and the severe acute respiratory ...

Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) - the major receptor for SARS-CoV-2 virus [PDF]
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAS) plays a significant role in the regulation of the water and electrolyte balance. Renin from the kidneys converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin I. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) catalyzes the conversion

Current and future use of angiotensin II receptor blockers in patients with COVID-19
No scientific evidence for the negative influence of angiotensin II receptor blockers onto COVID-19 clinical course has been identified so far. Prescribing angiotensin II receptor blockers as COVID-19 pathogenetic therapy could only be considered within ...

Isoflavone daidzein ameliorates renal dysfunction and fibrosis in a postmenopausal rat model: Intermediation of angiotensin AT1 and Mas receptors and microRNAs 33a and 27a [PDF]
Objective(s): Chronic kidney disease (CKD), accompanied by renal dysfunction, fibrosis, and apoptosis, is highly prevalent in postmenopausal women. We tested the hypothesis that isoflavone daidzein may ameliorate renal dysfunction and fibrosis through ...
