      The insertion/delection ACE polymorphism (ACE I/D) regulates different levels of circulating and tissue ACE activities, which may induce diverse adrenergic responses to physiological stimuli. The aim of this study was ...
    • Oliveri Pérez, Carla Giovanna; Ocaranza, María Paz; Campos Bastidas, Ximena; Lavandero González, Sergio; Jalil Milad, Jorge (LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2001-09)
      Angiotensin I is a substrate for both ACE and for neutral endopeptidase 24.11 (NEP). We hypothesized that high ACE expression is related to low NEP activity. Accordingly, circulating and tissue NEP and ACE activities were ...
