Acute respiratory distress syndrome leads to reduced ratio of ACE/ACE2 activities and is prevented by angiotensin-(1-7) or an angiotensin II receptor antagonist

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a devastating clinical syndrome. Angiotensin‐converting enzyme (ACE) and its effector peptide angiotensin (Ang) II have been implicated in the pathogenesis of ARDS. A counter‐regulatory enzyme of ACE, ie ACE2 that degrades Ang II to Ang‐(1–7), offers a p...
