ACE2 is the indispensable entry receptor for SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become one of the most therapeutically targeted human molecules in biomedicine. ACE2 serv...
The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic was caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which enters host cells through interactions of its spike protein to Angiot...
Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is hypothesized to be in the center of COVID pathophysiology as the angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) represents the main entrance of the virus, thus t...
A total of 40 healthy controls and 60 Egyptian patients suffering from chronic cardiovascular diseases were enrolled in this study. Patients were divided into 40 patients treated with ACEIs and 20 pat...
Assessment of serum ACE2 level in different groups showed a significant difference between ACEIs and healthy groups and ACEIs and ARBs group, while there was no difference between ARBs and healthy. Mu...
ACE2 levels varied between ACEIs and ARBs. It tends to be lower in ACEIs group and there is a strong positive association between ACE2 level and the female sex. This needs to be considered in Future s...
Retrospectively registered ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05418361 (June 2022)....
Kawasaki disease (KD) has replaced rheumatic fever as the main cause of acquired heart disease in Japanese, American, and Chinese children. Polymorphisms in angiotensin-converting enzyme may be associ...
The increased levels of blood glucose associated with genetic and/or environmental risk factors have been known as Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). T2D is categorized as a dangerous clinical syndrome f...
Rapid and cost-effective diagnostic tests for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are a critical and valuable weapon for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic respo...
In order to prevent COVID-19 from progressing, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) binds to SARS-CoV-2 and prevents the virus from entering target cells. Several studies have found a correlation be...
We conducted a systematic review using PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Science Direct and Web of Science databases. The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. ...
It was concluded that the ACE2 G8790A polymorphism was not associated with COVID-19 based on the data collected. Moreover, subgroup analyses stratified based on race proved that the ACE2 G allele show...
The findings indicated that the G allele of ACE2 G8790A was related to an enhanced risk of COVID-19 severity in Asians. One possible reason is that ACE2 G allele was associated with a COVID-19 cytokin...
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a disease with cardiovascular impairment and polymorphisms of the gene coding of angiotensin-converting-enzyme 2 (ACE2) may account for its development. Three single nucleo...
Genomic DNA was isolated from whole blood. Restriction-fragment-length polymorphism was used for genotyping of rs1978124, while detection of rs879922 and rs2285666 was based on TaqMan SNP Genotyping A...
81 SSc patients (60 women, 21 men) were enrolled. Allele C of rs879922 polymorphism was associated with significantly greater risk for development of AH (OR=2.5, p=0.018), but less frequent joint invo...
Polymorphisms of ACE2 may account for the development of AH and CVS disorders in SSc patients. Strong tendencies to more frequent occurrence of disease specific characteristics distinct to macrovascul...
The quick and advancing prevalence of the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 produced a global crisis surge with a profound impact on human health and worldwide economic constancy. The virus is known as one s...
The Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) is the main receptor of the SARS-CoV-2. There is contradictory evidence on how the exposure to nicotine may module the concentration of soluble ACE2 (sACE2)....
Pooled analysis performed with data retrieved from two studies (n = 634 and n = 302). Geometric mean (GM) concentrations of sACE2, both total and relative to the total amount of protein in the sample,...
We observed a significant increase of 0.108‰ and 0.087 ng/μl in the relative and absolute salivary sACE2 GM concentrations, respectively, between the lowest and highest nicotine levels. Similar result...
Salivary nicotine concentration seems to be limitedly associated with the concentration of sACE2....
