Liquid-chromatographic assay of angiotensin-converting enzyme in serum.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This assay of angiotensin-converting enzyme is based on release of hippuric acid from a synthetic tripeptide, hippuryl-L-histidyl-L-leucine. Hippuric acid is separated and quantitated on a reversed-phase column under conditions similar to those used for assay of theophylline and acetaminophen. The method is rapid and free from interferences.

Serum Angiotensin Converting Enzyme in Patients with Psoriasis
Background: Controversial data concerning the elevation of serum angiotensin-converting enzyme in psoriasis are reported in the literature. In order to verify whether this abnormality exists in Iranian patients, we performed this study. Method: Serum angiotensin-converting enzyme level was measured in 40 psoriatics. According to clinical forms of psoriasis, patients were further divided into th...

I describe modification of the spectrophotometric assay described by Cushman and Cheung [biochem. Pharmacol. 20, 1637 (1971)] for serum angiotensin-converting enzyme, with use of "high-pressure" liquid chromatography to measure the hippuric acid end product. After reaction of 10 microL of untreated serum with the angiotensin-converting enzyme substrate analog hippuryl-L-histidyl-L-leucine, the ...
متن کاملStudy of Serum and Tissues Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Activity in Rat with Gentamicin Induced Renal Toxicity
The angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) converts the inactive angiotensin I molecule to the active angiotensin II. ACE is rich in epithelium, endothelium, and neuroepithelial cells and it found largely on the brush border of intestine and kidney proximal tubules. ACE also presents in the serum. Some pulmonary and renal toxic drugs change the serum and tissue ACE contents. In this research ACE...
متن کاملSensitive colorimetric assay for angiotensin converting enzyme in serum.
A sensitive colorimetric procedure has been developed for the assay of angiotensin converting enzyme (EC 3.4.15.1) in serum. Serum (10 microL) is incubated for 30 min with hippuryl-glycyl-glycine as described earlier (Clin Chem 28: 1352-1355, 1982). After a Folin-Wu deproteinization, the liberated glycyl-glycine is derivatized with a borate-buffered (pH 9.3) trinitrobenzenesulfonate solution (6...

introduction Today, theophylline is considered the primary drug of choice in the prevention and treatment of asthmatic symptoms in children and adults (1); theophylline is also used extensively to treat apnea in premature infants (2-6). Current data suggest that the safe and effective use of theophylline requires careful dosage adjustment basedon measurements of theophylline concentrations in s...
