Title: ACE/ACE2 Ratio and MMP-9 Activity as Potential Biomarkers in Tuberculous Pleural Effusions Document date: 2012_10_17
ID: zlzig0nn_30
Snippet: In the present study, we reported the change in ACE2 activity in pleural effusions. Some of the physiological functions of ACE2 are opposite to those of ACE. The significant positive correlation between ACE and ACE2 activities in the transudates suggests that ACE and ACE2 maintain a normal physiological balance. This loss of balance in exudates was detected because of increased ACE. Although the importance of the dysregulation in ACE in exudative.....
Document: In the present study, we reported the change in ACE2 activity in pleural effusions. Some of the physiological functions of ACE2 are opposite to those of ACE. The significant positive correlation between ACE and ACE2 activities in the transudates suggests that ACE and ACE2 maintain a normal physiological balance. This loss of balance in exudates was detected because of increased ACE. Although the importance of the dysregulation in ACE in exudative effusions has not been explored, a significant role for RAS in the pathophysiological process of exudate development is possible.
