Does aCE2 antagonize VEGFa to Reduce Vascular Permeability During Acute Lung Injury?
ACE2 may antagonize the VEGFa-mediated increases in lung vessel permeability during ALI, resulting in improvement of lung function after ALI.
It appears unlikely the R4/5 genotype plays a major role in the pathogenesis of CAD, as it was not associated with stenosis and atherosclerosis in RCA and LCX. However this genotype may have some role in more pronounced CAD, as seen in the LAD.
