Activity of angiotensin-converting enzyme in hereditary stress-induced arterial hypertension.

Abstract excerpt

We measured activity of angiotensin-converting enzyme in plasma and tissue of NISAG and normotensive WAG rats. In different organs of NISAG rats, activity of this enzyme did not differ from the corresponding values of WAG rats, although enzyme activity in the plasma of NISAG rats was significantly lower than that of WAG rats. Since NISAG rats are characterized by low activity of renin in the renal cortex, it is...
