Introduction: The brain renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been reported having a pathological role in age-related impairment in learning and memory. Therefore, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) are expected to have positive effects on memory. Longtime treatment with captopril (an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor) significantly attenuates the age-related impairment in learn...

Background: Therapeutic interchange is widely used in geriatric settings, such as angiotensin enzyme converting inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor antagonists and angiotensin receptor blockers (sartans). Objective: we evaluate the clinical impact (efficacy and tolerance) of a therapeutic interchange program for noncomplicated hypertension. Method: 13 patients receiving angiotensin enzyme co...

the activity of angiotension converting enzyme (ace; omim: 106180) in different brain regions of patients with schizophrenia changed, suggesting a possible involvement of ace in psychiatric disorders. genetic polymorphism of insertion/deletion (i/d; dbsnp rs4646994) in the gene encoding ace has been well defined.the present case-control study was performed on 363 (268 males, 95 females) in-pati...

the effects of allium sativum on yogurt formation and subsequent storage (4°c, up to 28 days) on proteolysis, microbial activity, and inhibition of α-amylase, α-glucosidase and angiotensin-i converting enzymes were investigated in vitro. allium sativum yogurt showed higher rates of ph reduction and increment of titrable acid than control during the incubation at 41°c. highest proteolysis was ob...

AIMS This was a cohort study to evaluate whether individuals exposed to angiotensin receptor blockers have a reduced risk of dementia compared with those exposed to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. METHODS The study included new users of angiotensin receptor blockers or angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (from 1995 to 2010) from UK primary care practices contributing to the Cli...

[Purpose] This study aimed to assess the exercise capacity and muscle strength in elderly people using drugs for angiotensin-II blockage. [Subjects and Methods] Four hundred and seven older adults were recruited for this study. Data about comorbidities and medication use were recorded and the individuals were divided into three groups: control group- elderly people with normal exercise capacity...

purpose it is well known that the effects of exercise training gives inter individual differences which might be due to genetic diversity. this study aims to explore the probable relation between angiotensin converting enzyme (ace) alleles and physical fitness parameters in elite athletes. methods twenty-nine national level indian army triathletes who volunteered for the study were taken as sub...
