Angiotensin Converting Enzyme in Sarcoidosis

Angiotensin I converting enzyme.

• Interest in particular biologically active substances waxes and wanes. Investigators rush into a newly opened field, solve a few problems, and frequently raise more; then they rush out to follow more promising developments elsewhere. However, interest in angiotensins generally has persisted and increased. Observation of the actions of angiotensins has led to the study of enzymes involved in t...

Serum Angiotensin Converting Enzyme in Patients with Psoriasis

Background: Controversial data concerning the elevation of serum angiotensin-converting enzyme in psoriasis are reported in the literature. In order to verify whether this abnormality exists in Iranian patients, we performed this study. Method: Serum angiotensin-converting enzyme level was measured in 40 psoriatics. According to clinical forms of psoriasis, patients were further divided into th...

Pulmonary Angiotensin-converting Enzyme

Angiotensin-converting enzyme has been solubilized from a particulate fraction of rabbit lung and purified to apparent homogeneity in 11% yield by a procedure including fractionation with DEAE-cellulose and calcium phosphate gel, elution from Sephadex G-200, and lectin affinity chromatography. The molecular weight estimated by equilibrium sedimentation was approximately 129,000, either in the a...
