Does Angiotensin (1-7) Contribute to the Antiproteinuric Effect of ACE-inhibitors?
Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-I) reduce proteinuria and protect the kidney in proteinuric renal disease. During ACE-I therapy, circulating levels of angiotensin (1-7) [Ang (1-7)] are increased. As cardiac and renal protective effects of Ang (1-7) have been reported, we questioned whe...
