Healthy hearts and kidneys are characterized by high levels of ACE2 mRNA and protein expression, with moderate expression of ACE. Pharmacological RAS blockade agents, ARBs, in particular, are capable of modulating both systemic and tissue RAS, and simultaneously increasing ACE2 expression and activity in experimental models. keywords: ace2; ang ii; angiotensin; converting; coronavirus; cov-2; covid-19; disease; effects; enzyme; expression; gut; heart; hypertension; lung; mice; patients; ras; receptor; sars cache: cord-344012-npob20n0.txt plain text: cord-344012-npob20n0.txt item: #71 of 73 id: cord-346281-sma6e891 author: Maldonado, Valente title: Repositioning of pentoxifylline as an immunomodulator and regulator of the renin-angiotensin system in the treatment of COVID-19 date: 2020-06-09 words: 5721 flesch: 27 summary: At the same time, Ang II is considered to function as a growth factor that regulates cell proliferation/apoptosis and fibrosis, as well as a mediator that attracts inflammatory cells to sites of tissue injury [19] . By contrast, Tregs attenuate the activation, proliferation, and effector functions of a wide range of immune cells for the maintenance of auto-tolerance and immune homeostasis keywords: ace2; angiotensin; cells; covid-19; cytokines; immune; levels; lung; patients; pentoxifylline; ptx; sars; treatment cache: cord-346281-sma6e891.txt plain text: cord-346281-sma6e891.txt item: #72 of 73 id: cord-349445-yh6ndtgm author: Mohammed El Tabaa, Manar title: Targeting Neprilysin (NEP) pathways: A potential new hope to defeat COVID-19 ghost date: 2020-05-27 words: 11864 flesch: 29 summary: As well, NEP could not affect lung Ang (1-7) metabolism because it was involved in the metabolism of Ang (1-7) within tissues other than pulmonary tissues, as renal cortex. Subsequently, RAS exhibits two main axes based on two distinct enzymes responsible for cleavage of Ang I into angiotensin (Ang) II or Ang 1-7 [51] , First axis involves generation of Ang II as the main effector via the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and named the classical vasopressor axis ACE/ Ang II/ Ang II type 1 receptor (AT1) keywords: ang; angiotensin; cells; clinical; coronavirus; cov-2; covid-19; disease; endothelial; enzyme; injury; lung; nep; patients; peptide; pulmonary; ras; receptor; role; sars; system; treatment cache: cord-349445-yh6ndtgm.txt plain text: cord-349445-yh6ndtgm.txt item: #73 of 73 id: cord-352004-0mdh1jmo author: Tamanna, Sonia title: Angiotensin Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) in Pregnancy: Preeclampsia and Small for Gestational Age date: 2020-09-30 words: 5475 flesch: 52 summary: ACE2 activity was positively correlated with ACE2 levels (r = 0.215, P = 0.041). However, the ratio between ACE2 activity and ACE2 levels was significantly decreased in women with SGA pregnancies compared with normal pregnancies (P = 0.005; Figure 4G) , this was significant at 13, 18, and 30 weeks of gestation but not at 36 weeks. keywords: ace2; activity; ang-(1; levels; pregnancies; women cache: cord-352004-0mdh1jmo.txt plain text: cord-352004-0mdh1jmo.txt
