ACE inhibition refers to the inhibition of the enzyme angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), which plays a key role in the regulation of blood pressure by converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II. ACE inhibitors are commonly used in the treatment of hypertension, heart failure, and other cardiovascular conditions. By blocking the actions of ACE, these drugs help to dilate blood vessels, reduce blood pressure, and reduce the workload on the heart. ACE inhibition research focuses on the development of new and improved drugs in this class, as well as exploring the potential benefits of ACE inhibitors for other conditions such as kidney disease and diabetes.
