Abstract

The renin-angiotensin system is involved in the pathophysiology of inflammatory diseases through an increase in angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE)/angiotensin (Ang) II/AT1 receptor axis activity. It has been shown that ACE activity is increased in acute respiratory distress syndrome and there is a strong correlation between the level of ACE activity and the degree of lung injury. SARS-CoV-2, the new coronavirus that causes COVID-19, similar to other coronaviruses, was recently shown to use ACE2 as a receptor to get into host cells. However, it has been reported that most of the treatments that stimulates the ACE2/Ang-(1-7)/Mas axis induces beneficial effects, such as, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative, anti-thrombotic and anti-fibrotic. Here we discussed the potential of activation of Ang-(1-7)/Mas pathway as strategy to treat COVID-19.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
