Implication

Supports vascular ACE in sustaining chronic hypertension in rats; hypothesis-generating for local RAS targeting, pending human validation.

Structured PICO

P
Population
In vitro helically cut strips of arteries isolated from dogs, and in vivo two-kidney, one-clip hypertensive rats compared to normotensive rats
I
Intervention
Unilateral occlusion of the renal artery (two-kidney, one-clip model) and exposure to angiotensin (ANG) I, ACE inhibitor, or ANG II antagonist
C
Comparator
Normotensive rats
O
Outcome
Vascular ACE activity, plasma-renin activity (PRA), aortic renin activity, and ANG I to ANG II conversion ratesurrogate

Vascular ACE appears to play an important role in the maintenance of chronic hypertension by locally producing ANG II from ANG I.
