Pulmonary Capillary Endothelium-Bound Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Activity in Humans
CirculationStylianos E. Orfanos +71999Journals
Pulmonary endothelium has metabolic functions including the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II by angiotensin-converting ectoenzyme (ACE). In this study, we have validated an indicator-dilution technique that provides estimations of dynamically perfused capillary surface area (DPCSA) in humans, and we have characterized pulmonary endothelial ACE in vivo.
