1049 ANGIOTENSIN-I-CONVERTING ENZYME (ACE) ACTIVITY IN TERM AND PRETERM INFANTS

polymorphism in the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ace) gene and ace activity in type 2 diabetic patients

diabetes mellitus is a multifactorial disease. it has recently been shown that an insertion (i)/deletion (d) polymorphism exists in the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ace) gene that can affect the serum ace level. there are three genotypes: dd, di, and ii, with the ace level being highest in dd, intermediate in di, and lowest in ii. in the present investigation, 170 patients with type 2 diabete...

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme in Sarcoidosis

Study of Serum and Tissues Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Activity in Rat with Gentamicin Induced Renal Toxicity

The angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) converts the inactive angiotensin I molecule to the active angiotensin II. ACE is rich in epithelium, endothelium, and neuroepithelial cells and it found largely on the brush border of intestine and kidney proximal tubules. ACE also presents in the serum. Some pulmonary and renal toxic drugs change the serum and tissue ACE contents. In this research ACE...

The angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) gene I/D polymorphism and ACE levels in Pima Indians.

An insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism of the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene is associated with plasma ACE levels in white populations. The occurrence of the I/D polymorphism and relationship to ACE levels was examined in a Pima Indian group (n = 305). The frequency of the D allele was lower in Pimas than whites (0.29 v 0.52 respectively). ACE levels were significantly associated wi...

3 Properties of Angiotensin I - Converting Enzyme ( ACE ) Tetsuo

The life-style diseases, such as obesity, diabetes and hypertension, and cardiovascular disease have been increasing in Japan recently. The mortality rate due to heart disease or vascular disease has been 2nd and 3rd of total death toll. The hypertension is a most important disease because it may induce cerebral apoplexy and cardiovascular disease. Recently, new aspects of food functions have b...
