The Effects of Coriandrum sativum L. and Chaerophyllum macropodum Boiss. (Apiaceae) on human plasma angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) in vitro

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE): Inhibition of Sheep Kidney and Lung ACE In vitro by Rauwolfia serpentina and Allium sativum

Regulation of blood pressure is one of the important functions of Angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE, EC. 3.4.15.1). ACE is widely distributed and appears to have several important physiological functions including its major role in blood pressure regulation. In the treatment of congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, diabetic nephropathy etc.ACE inhibitors are used. The current st...

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme in Sarcoidosis

polymorphism in the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ace) gene and ace activity in type 2 diabetic patients

diabetes mellitus is a multifactorial disease. it has recently been shown that an insertion (i)/deletion (d) polymorphism exists in the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ace) gene that can affect the serum ace level. there are three genotypes: dd, di, and ii, with the ace level being highest in dd, intermediate in di, and lowest in ii. in the present investigation, 170 patients with type 2 diabete...

Hypotensive, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory and diuretic activities of the aqueous-methanol extract of Ipomoea reniformis

Ipomoea reniformis Roxb. (Convolvulaceae) is a small, weedy herb used for the management of cardiac problems in traditional systems of medicine in India and Pakistan. Objective of the present study is to investigate the hypotensive, diuretic and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities of the aqueous-methanol (30:70) crude extract of the dried aerial parts of I. reniformis (Ir....

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...
