P23: The Effects of Captopril, as Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor, on LPS-Induced Systemic Inflammation
It has been shown that the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays key roles in the inflammation process. Imbalance in the oxidant-antioxidant system is one of the major causes of inflammation. In the present study, the effects of captopril on total and differential WBC, oxidative stress in systemic inflammation produced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were investigated. The rats were divided to: cont...
متن کاملAngiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor-induced cough and substance P.
BACKGROUND Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors cause coughing in 5-10% of patients, but the exact mechanisms of this effect are still unclear. In the airways ACE degrades substance P so the cough mechanism may be related to this peptide. METHODS Nine patients who developed a cough and five patients who did not develop a cough when taking the ACE inhibitor enalapril (2.5 or 5.0 mg/d...
متن کاملAngiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitor Extends Caenorhabditis elegans Life Span.
Animal aging is characterized by progressive, degenerative changes in many organ systems. Because age-related degeneration is a major contributor to disability and death in humans, treatments that delay age-related degeneration are desirable. However, no drugs that delay normal human aging are currently available. To identify drugs that delay age-related degeneration, we used the powerful Caeno...
متن کاملAngiotensin-converting Enzyme Inhibitor
The hemodynamic effects of an oral angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, captopril, were evaluated in 10 symptomatic patients with chronic congestive heart failure. In all patients there was a significant increase in cardiac output (average 28%), stroke volume (49%), and stroke work index (26%), along with a decrease in pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (48%), indicating improved left ventr...

The effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (CEI) SQ14225 on infarct size and regional myocardial blood flow were studied in 21 anesthetized dogs subjected to 6 hours of coronary occlusion. An area of myocardium at risk of necrosis was determined in vivo after 15 minutes of coronary occlusion but before CEI treatment (AR1) using an autoradiographic technique and after treatment after...
