Increased Inhibition of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Obtained from Indonesian Buffalo Meat Protein Using SEP-PAK Plus C18

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...

Attenuation of Focal Cerebral Ischemic Injury Following Post-Ischemic Inhibition of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Activity in Normotensive Rat

Background: Central renin angiotensin system has an important role on the cerebral microcirculation and metabolism. Our previous work showed that inhibition of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity prior to induction of ischemia protected the brain from severe ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injuries. This study evaluated the impacts of post-ischemic inhibition of ACE, enalapril, on brain inf...

Inhibition of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ace) by Viola Mandshurica Extraction

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE, EC 3.4.15.1) inhibitor plays a critical role in treating hypertension by causing blood vessels to constrict. The purpose of this study was to estimate ACE inhibition activity by Viola mandshurica using an in vitro assay. The assay method is based on the hydrolysis of the substrate HHL by ACE, and measuring the amount of HA using RP-HPLC. ACE inhibitor activit...

Angiotensin-I-Converting Enzyme (ACE)-Inhibitory Peptides from Plants

Hypertension is an important factor in cardiovascular diseases. Angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors like synthetic drugs are widely used to control hypertension. ACE-inhibitory peptides from food origins could be a good alternative to synthetic drugs. A number of plant-based peptides have been investigated for their potential ACE inhibitor activities by using in vitro and in vivo a...
