The Impact of the Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitor Lisinopril on Metabolic Rate in .

Evidence suggests that angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) may increase metabolic rate by promoting thermogenesis, potentially through enhanced fat oxidation and improved insulin. More research is, however, needed to understand this intricate process. In this study, we used 22 lines from the Genetic Reference Panel to assess the metabolic rate of virgin female and male flies that were either fed a standard medium or received lisinopril for one week or five weeks.
