introduction: in patients with uncomplicated primary hypertension (htn), angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (aceis) are considered as monotherapy. in some studies, cough was not related to age, sex, underlying disease, or drug dosage. however, in previous studies, the incidence of cough was greater in females than males. the aim of this study is to determine the incidence of captopril-ind...

abstract        background and objective: peroxidases catalyze protein oxidation and lipid peroxidation. the activity of these enzymes in nerve cells is involved in causing disorders such as alzheimer's and parkinson's disease. this study investigated the effect of citrus aurantium, foeniculum vulgare and rosmarinus officinalis essential oils on activity of peroxidase enzyme.       me...

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...

abstract digestive enzyme inhibitors are proteinacious or nonproteinacious compounds which reduce an enzyme activity through attaching to its active site and/or its substrate. nowadays, plant enzyme inhibitors are of great importance because 1) these have considerable effects on insect digestive enzymes and as a result on their development; and 2) the transgenic plants expressing them are safe....

conclusions traditional medicine based on certain plants could be of beneficial effects in hypertension treatment. results in total, 52 species out of the 135 (39%) screened, gave more than 50% ace inhibition. forty species were found to possess a high ace inhibiting ability and were low in their tannin content. materials and methods in the present study 135 plants used in traditional persian m...

background: early diagnosis of albuminuria and the prevention of its progression to macroalbuminuria and diabetic nephropathy are crucial. angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (aceis) and antagonists of angiotensin ii receptors type i (arbs) are currently used as first-line treatment for albuminuria in these patients. the present study was conducted to assess the efficacy of addition of spi...

background: there is controversy over the potential benefits/harms of the usage of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (aceis) or angiotensin receptor blockers (arbs) as regards the postoperative mortality of coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg). this study investigates the correlation between the in-hospital mortality of cabg and the preoperative administration of acei/arb. methods: out...
