Correlation between the Expression of Somatic ACE (190KDa) and of its Soluble N‐Domain Isoforms (90KDa and 65KDa) with Different Nutritional Status and Cardiovascular Risk Profile

ACE has been pointed out to be involved in the physiopathology of several diseases including hypertension, diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome. The somatic ACE weights from 130 to 190 KDa and presents two domains, N‐domain and C‐domain. Whilst the somatic form of ACE was already identified in a considerable range of tissues, the testicular form of ACE is exclusively found on testis. Two soluble isoforms of N‐domain are naturally present in...
