The functional role of the endothelium in conversion of angiotensin (Ang) I to Ang II was
studied in helical strips of dog renal arteries. In the arteries precontracted with PGF2 [alpha] …

An inhibitor of angiotensin I (ANG I) converting enzyme, SA446, reduced the response to
ANG I of blood vessels isolated from dogs and monkeys, but did not abolish the response …

We studied the angiotensin II-forming pathways in extracts from human and rat vascular
tissues. In the extract from human artery, angiotensin I mainly converted to two products …

Immunohistochemical studies and experiments with microdissected nephron segments
indicate that the angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) in the kidney is expressed in the …

Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) was isolated from rabbit lung tissue by affinity
chromatography on an N-(l-carboxy-5-aminopentyl)-L-alanylglycine resin. The molecular …

Recent studies have provided evidence of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)-
independent angiotensin (Ang) II formation in tissue renin-angiotensin systems. We studied …

Dog, monkey and human aortic tissues contained two distinct types of angiotesin II-
generating enzymes; angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and chymostatin-sensitive …

Kininase II (angiotensin I-converting enzyme) is generally accepted to be the enzyme
responsible for the conversion of angiotensin I (AI) to angiotensin II (A II). This study …

Angiotensin converting enzyme activity was measured in intact aortic rings utilizing the
synthetic tripeptide [3H]‐benzoyl‐Phe‐Ala‐Pro as the substrate. Intact aortic rings …

In homogenates of the endothelium and smooth muscle cum adventitia of the rat aorta,
exogenous angiotensin (ANG) I was found to be degraded to des-aspartate-ANG I (des-Asp …
