Altered prostaglandin metabolism induced by angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors.

Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors.

The purpose of this brief review is to separate the characteristic properties and side effects attributable to the pharmacology of the whole class of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors from those attributable to the chemical structure and kinetics of each particular ACE inhibitor. The former would be predictable and probably similar for all agents and, therefore, would be expected t...

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors.

ACE inhibitors have achieved widespread usage in the treatment of cardiovascular and renal disease. ACE inhibitors alter the balance between the vasoconstrictive, salt-retentive, and hypertrophic properties of angiotensin II (Ang II) and the vasodilatory and natriuretic properties of bradykinin and alter the metabolism of a number of other vasoactive substances. ACE inhibitors differ in the che...

Potential angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors from Iranian traditional plants described by Avicenna’s Canon of Medicine

Objective: Hypertension is an important cause of cardiovascular disorders. The angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) plays an important role in hypertension; therefore, inhibition of ACE in treatment of chronically elevated blood pressure is an important therapeutic approach. In the current review, we have p...

Gynaecomastia induced by angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor.

somewhat but he remained disabled. Although clinical and laboratory evidence argued against neurosyphilis, a two week course of doxycycline was then given, but the patient did not improve over the next four weeks. His sNmptoms subsequentlI improved considerablN on increasing doses of levodopa with carbidopa. This man developed a severe symmetrical parkinsonian syndrome responsive to levodopa wh...
