Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The relationship between the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and angiotensinogen has to be stated.
Concept introduction: ACE is the inhibitor used to treat high blood pressure and several heart conditions. Angiotensinogen is a decapeptide which is present in the inactive form in the human body.
(b)
Interpretation: The relationship between the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and angiotensin has to be stated.
Concept introduction: ACE is the inhibitor used to treat high blood pressure and several heart conditions. Angiotensin is an octapeptide which is present in the active form in the human body.
