    Snippet: Here we evaluated the association of two key enzymes in RAS, ACE and ACE2, with MMP-2 and MMP-9 in the pleural fluid of patients with pleural effusion. We also detail discussed whether abnormal RAS, accompanied with high levels of ACE/ACE2, might be a cause of elevated MMP-9 activity in tuberculous pleural effusion. Finally, a high ratio of ACE to ACE2 combined with elevated MMP-9 detected in pleural fluid may be a potential indicator for the dia.....
