What is an angiotensin converting enzyme?
An angiotensin converting enzyme is an enzyme which catalyzes the creation of angiotensin.
What is a vasodilator that can be inactivated by a proteolytic enzyme?
Serotonin
What does angiotensin-converting enzyme do?
The primary function of ACE is to help regulate arterial pressure by converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II
What does Serum Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme do?
The primary function of ACE is to help regulate arterial pressure by converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II
Is diovan an ace inhibitor?
No, Diovan (valsartan) is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). While angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors prevent the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, ARBs prevent the angiotensin I from binding to the AT1 receptor. End result is the same, inhibition of vasoconstrictive properties of angiotensin I and reduction in blood pressure.
What triggers the release of aldosterone?
angiotensin
What is angiotensin-converting enzyme also called?
Serum Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme
What are Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors?
They are medicines that block the conversion of the chemical angiotensin I
What is Serum Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme also called?
Angiotensin-converting enzyme
The enzyme renin raises blood pressure by activating the?
renin activates angiotensin in the blood
Does Renin cause a decrease in blood pressure?
No. Renin causes the blood pressure to rise. By low blood pressure the body releases Renin from the kidneys. Renin cleaves an inactive peptide, called Angiotensinogen, converting it to Angiotensin I. Angiotensin I is then converted to Angiotensin II by ACE (Angiotensin-Converting-Enzyme). Angiotensin II causes vasoconstriction and thus an increase in blood pressure.
What is a Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Test?
This test measures blood levels of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)
