Background: The renal response to ACE inhibition is known to vary between individuals. The ACE genotype is a determinant of the ACE concentrations in plasma and tissue, and therefore might affect the renal response to ACE inhibition in renal patients.
Methods: To test this hypothesis we studied the short-term response to ACE inhibition (enalapril or lisinopril 10/20 mg/d) in 61 stable proteinuric patients (> 1.0 g/day) in relation to the ACE genotype (DD N = 16, ID N = 32, II N = 13).
Results: Baseline values were not significantly different for the three groups. ACE inhibition significantly reduced proteinuria, mean arterial pressure, GFR and FF in all genotype groups. The reduction in proteinuria, MAP, GFR and FF was not different between the genotype groups. ERPF increased significantly and to the same extent in all three groups.
Conclusions: We conclude that in proteinuric patients the short-term responses to ACE inhibition of proteinuria, blood pressure, and renal haemodynamics are not determined by ACE genotype. Thus, ACE gene polymorphism does not account for the known interindividual variation in the short-term renal response to ACE inhibition.

Cancer immunotherapy-including immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) and adoptive cell therapy (ACT)-has become a standard, potentially curative treatment for a subset of advanced solid and liquid tumors. However, most patients with cancer do not benefit from the rapidly evolving improvements in the understanding of principal mechanisms determining cancer immune responsiveness (CIR); including patient-specific genetically determined and acquired factors, as well as intrinsic cancer cell biology. Though CIR is multifactorial, fundamental concepts are emerging that should be considered for the design of novel therapeutic strategies and related clinical studies.

Ferulic acid (FA) is a phenolic compound obtained naturally and is a versatile antioxidant identified for its potential in managing hypertension. However, its application is constrained due to its classification as a BCS Class IV moiety. To address this, we concentrated on improving its solubility and permeability by developing nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) of FA using emulsification probe sonication technique.

Food protein-derived antihypertensive peptides have attracted substantial attention as a safer alternative for drugs. The regulation of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is an essential aspect underlying the mechanisms of antihypertensive peptides. Most of the identified antihypertensive peptides exhibit the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory effect.

This comprehensive review explores the biological functions of seed proteins and peptides, highlighting their significant potential for health and therapeutic applications. This review delves into the mechanisms through which perilla peptides combat oxidative stress and protect cells from oxidative damage, encompassing free radical scavenging, metal chelating, in vivo antioxidant, and cytoprotective activities. Perilla peptides exhibit robust anti-aging properties by activating the Nrf2 pathway, enhancing cellular antioxidant capacity, and supporting skin health through the promotion of keratinocyte growth, maintenance of collagen integrity, and reduction in senescent cells.

The octapeptide angiotensin II (Ang II) is a circulating hormone as well as a locally formed agonist synthesized by the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) of endothelial cells. It forms a powerful mechanism to control the amount and pressure of body fluids. All main effects are directed to save body salt and water and ensure blood pressure under basic conditions and in emergencies.
