ACE2 can hydrolyze angiotensin I (Ang I) to produce angiotensin (1-7) peptides, thereby generating vasodilation and lowering blood pressure. ACEI/ARB drugs may increase the protein concentration of ACE2 in rat plasma, mRNA level of ACE2, and even the activity of ACE2 in cardiac tissue 14 ......
    Document: is the (which was not peer-reviewed) The copyright holder for this preprint . https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.04.06.20054825 doi: medRxiv preprint to that of ACE. ACE2 can hydrolyze angiotensin I (Ang I) to produce angiotensin (1-7) peptides, thereby generating vasodilation and lowering blood pressure. ACEI/ARB drugs may increase the protein concentration of ACE2 in rat plasma, mRNA level of ACE2, and even the activity of ACE2 in cardiac tissue 14 . Thus, it is possible that those hypertensive patients who had been taking ACEI/ARB might have an increased level of mRNA and protein expression of ACE2 in the lungs, making them more vulnerable for SARS-COV-2 entry, as well as for development of severe COVID-19 pneumonia. These findings are worth investigating further.
