The renin-angiotensin system originally was thought to be responsible for only renovascular
hypertension, but the development and use of various inhibitors of this system have …

Angiotensinogen: Hormonal regulation and relative importance in the generation of
angiotensin II. The production of angiotensinogen is controlled mainly by hormones that …

Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE; EC 3.4. 15.1), or kininase II, was studied in serum,
cultured endothelial cells from cord artery, in macrophages of humans, and in serum and …

Angiotensin converting enzyme exists in two different isoforms, somatic and germinal,
whose respective distributions and intracellular localizations have not been precisely …

We tested the hypothesis that angiotensinases limit the spillover of locally formed
angiotensin II into the circulation. The release of angiotensin peptides from isolated rat …

A procedure for the collection, processing, extraction, separation, and measurement of renal
tissue angiotensin II [ANG-(1–8)] is described. The arterial plasma and renal tissue …

Molecular cloning of human endothelial angiotensin I-converting enzyme (kininase II; EC
3.4. 15.1)(ACE) has recently shown that the enzyme contains two large homologous …

The demonstration of all components of the renin-angiotensin system in vascular tissue has
raised questions as to the precise location of the local angiotensin II generation within the …

Angiotensin I converting enzyme (kininase II, peptidyl dipeptidase, ACE) was purified by
reverse immunoadsorption from a membrane fraction of the human kidney. ACE is very …

The angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) gene is found on the locus that has been linked
to high blood pressure after sodium loading in rats, so in the present study we investigated …
