    Snippet: ACE activity was increased (p < 0.001) and ACE2 was decreased (p < 0.05) in tuberculosis specifically, but the ACE and ACE2 activities were no difference between transudate, pneumonia and adenocarcinoma effusions. These results indicated that ACE and ACE2 maybe a biomarker for tuberculosis diagnosis in pleural effusion and it could be emphasized that the increased ACE activity and ratio of ACE/ACE2 in the exudates are mainly contributed from a hi.....
    Document: ACE activity was increased (p < 0.001) and ACE2 was decreased (p < 0.05) in tuberculosis specifically, but the ACE and ACE2 activities were no difference between transudate, pneumonia and adenocarcinoma effusions. These results indicated that ACE and ACE2 maybe a biomarker for tuberculosis diagnosis in pleural effusion and it could be emphasized that the increased ACE activity and ratio of ACE/ACE2 in the exudates are mainly contributed from a higher ACE level and lower ACE2 enzyme activities in the tuberculous pleural effusion. In an advanced assay, our data show that the ACE activity of 85% (17/20), 19% (6/32), 18% (5/28) and 18% (8/45) pleural fluids isolated tuberculosis, pneumonia, adenocarcinoma and transudates was > 1 RFU/hour/ml, respectively. It is also indicated that the increased ACE activity found in the exudates are mainly contributed from a higher ACE activity in the tuberculous pleural effusion.
