The effects of renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system blockers on angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 levels and activity in humans are uncertain. The authors hypothesize that ACE2 may be beneficial ...
These cells release the enzyme renin, which helps to regulate blood pressure, so it was presumed that they should have some way to sense blood pressure in order to react to it.
Two studies of the novel oral renin inhibitor suggest aliskiren provides continuous BP control over 24 hours with one dose and that it has efficacy similar and potentially additive to ...
