Inhibition of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) by normal solutes of human plasma

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...

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...

Angiotensin-1-converting enzyme (ACE) plasma concentration is influenced by multiple ACE-linked quantitative trait nucleotides.

Circulating angiotensin-1-converting enzyme (ACE) is a highly heritable trait, and a major component of the genetic variance maps to the region of the ACE gene. The strong effect of the locus, and the interest in ACE as a candidate gene for cardiovascular disorders, has led to extensive investigation of its relationship to the ACE phenotype, providing one of the most complete examples of quanti...
