1 Serum ACE levels were strongly correlated with alcohol consumption and serum gamma-GTP levels. Alcohols angiotensin I converting enzyme Homo sapiens
2 Since the induction of ACE by alcohol in hepatic cells has been disputed, the coincident elevation of serum ACE and gamma-GTP activities in hypertensive drinkers may support the contention that the close association between gamma-GTP levels and BP found in drinkers is not mainly related to the induction of gamma-GTP in the hepatic cells, but related to the hepatic cell damage caused by alcohol. Alcohols angiotensin I converting enzyme Homo sapiens
