Urocortins 28-37 angiotensin I converting enzyme Rattus norvegicus 122-125 16488667-1 2006 We investigated the relationship between urocortin and the activity of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), which plays a key role in producing the potent vasoconstrictor angiotensin II (Ang II). Urocortins 41-50 angiotensin I converting enzyme Rattus norvegicus 102-105 16488667-4 2006 Immunofluorescence studies were also preformed to evaluate the effect of urocortin on ACE in cultured rat aortic endothelial cells (RAECs). Urocortins 73-82 angiotensin I converting enzyme Rattus norvegicus 86-89 16488667-6 2006 The prolonged administration of urocortin enhanced tissue ACE activity but the serum ACE level remained low. Urocortins 32-41 angiotensin I converting enzyme Rattus norvegicus 58-61 16488667-8 2006 Immunofluorescence studies also demonstrated an increase of ACE intensity in RAECs exposed to urocortin for 72 h. Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) receptor blocker, astressin, abolished the effects of urocortin. Urocortins 94-103 angiotensin I converting enzyme Rattus norvegicus 60-63 16488667-8 2006 Immunofluorescence studies also demonstrated an increase of ACE intensity in RAECs exposed to urocortin for 72 h. Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) receptor blocker, astressin, abolished the effects of urocortin. Urocortins 205-214 angiotensin I converting enzyme Rattus norvegicus 60-63 16488667-9 2006 Extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) pathway blocker, PD98059, also markedly inhibited these effects, suggesting urocortin affects the activity of ACE through the ERK1/2 pathway in rats. Urocortins 127-136 angiotensin I converting enzyme Rattus norvegicus 161-164 16488667-11 2006 Thus, the changes of the ACE activity and its production of Ang II may play a role in the vasodilatory property of urocortin. Urocortins 115-124 angiotensin I converting enzyme Rattus norvegicus 25-28
