Angiotensin Converting Enzyme in Sarcoidosis

Angiotensin converting enzyme: a tumour marker in malignant histiocytosis.

Angiotensin converting enzyme: a tumour marker in malignant histiocytosis Angiotensin converting enzyme is present in vascular endothelial cells and in cells of the monocyte macrophage series. Serum activities of the enzyme may be raised in active sarcoidosis, Gaucher's disease, leprosy, asbestosis, and silicosis,' in hyperthyroidism,2 and in alcoholic liver disease and diabetes mellitus with s...

silica exposure and serum angiotensin converting enzyme activity

background: silicosis is known in industrial workers for centuries. till recently, the mainstay of its diagnosis and progress was clinical examination of the respiratory system, pulmonary function test and chest radiography. several biomarkers such as serum angiotensin converting enzyme (ace) activity have been examined to determine the extent of silicosis. objective: to elucidate the effect of...

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Activity in Alopecia Areata

Background. Alopecia areata (AA) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the hair follicle. The exact pathogenesis of AA remains unknown, although recent studies support a T-cell mediated autoimmune process. On the other hand, some studies have proposed that the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) may play a role in autoimmunity. Therefore, we assessed serum activity of angiotensin convert...
