Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a devastating clinical syndrome. Angiotensin‐converting enzyme (ACE) and its effector peptide angiotensin (Ang) II have been implicated in the pathogenesis of ARDS. A counter‐regulatory enzyme of ACE, ie ACE2 that degrades Ang II to Ang‐(1–7), offers a promising novel treatment modality for this syndrome. As the involvement of ACE and ACE2 in ARDS is still...
In humans, the insertion/deletion polymorphism in the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene accounts for half of the variance in plasma ACE activity. The deletion allele is associated with high plasma ACE activity, cardiovascular disease, and renal disease. In rat, a similar association is found between the B and L alleles of a microsatellite marker in the ACE gene. We identified the B/L variation...
