Endopeptidase Case Study
Cardiovascular Quiz-1
Answers

1. Advantages of SELDI-TOF-MS are it gives more reproducible results in terms of the peak quantification. Also, it is very accurate. Moreover, it identifies the disease causing markers in the very short span of time with the low sample.
2. Carboxypeptidase is a type of protease enzyme. Carboxypeptidase breaks the peptide bond at the carboxyl terminal. It is used in the digestion of the food and not involves catabolism. On the other hand, endopeptidase is a proteolytic peptidase. It cannot cleaves the peptide bonds at the terminals. Endopeptidase is unable to break peptides into monomers.
3. Ang (1-9) causes vasodilation by increasing nitric oxide. Also, decreases the fibrosis and hypertrophy. But, Ang (1-7) decreases the collagen synthesis, fibroblast proliferation and cardiomyopathy. However, Ang (1-7) increases the left ventricular systolic presser and causes vasodilation by increasing the cAMP.
4.

In the case of diabetes the expression of ACE will increase in the excess amount and causes diuresis. But, a lot of experimental study is needed to know the expression and activity of the ACE2 in diabetes effect case.
5. Captopril and Lisinopril has no effect on the ACE2. But, they prevents the formation of the Ang-2 from Ang-1 by inhibiting ACE.
6. Angiotensin-2 type-1 receptor (AT1R) plays a vital role in the controlling of the blood pressure and blood volume in the cardio vascular system. If we knockout AT1R hypotension will occurs due to the increased levels of the angiotensin-1.
7. EDTA is type of chelating agent. EDTA blocks the activity of the ACE1. However, EDTA has no effect on the renin activity. The renin activity was blocked the specific renin

    A.C.E. Inhibitors - Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors block the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. Avoiding Angiotensin II may avoid increased blood pressure and vasoconstriction. They usually have the suffix "PRIL" A.2.R.B. - Angiotensin 2 Receptor Blockers block Angiotensin 2 enzymes from specific receptor sites. Avoiding Angiotensin 2 activity helps prohibit vasoconstriction. They usually have the suffix "ARTAN" Anti-Biotics - Anti-Biotics inhibit the reproduction of new Bacteria cells. There are several varieties and Drug Class Definitions of Anti-Biotics.Anti-Convulsants - Anti-Convulsants suppress the rapid firing of neurons in the nervous system (brain). Also known as Anti-epileptic drugs and Anti-Seizure drugs.Anti-Diabetics / Sulfonylureas - lower glucose levels in the blood. They are only used to treat Type II Diabetes.Benzodiazepines - Also know as "Benzos". Benzos are used as anti-anxiety agents, muscle relaxants, sedatives, and hypnotics. They usually have the suffix "PAM".Beta Blockers (B1) - Also known as Beta-adrenergic blocking agents. Block adrenaline receptors, which are part of the central nervous system and mediate a "Fight or flight" response, which would cause actions in the heart. They usually have the suffix "OLOL".Calcium Channel Blockers - Calcium channel blockers work by blocking calcium channels in cardiac muscle and blood vessels, thereby slowing down activity in the heart.Diuretics - Diuretics are primarily used to treat hypertension. They promote evacuation of water from the body, which decreases the load on the cardiovascular system.HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors - Also known as Statins, They inhibit the body's cholesterol production and usually have the suffix "STATIN".NSAID - Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs are commonly used as pain killers and Fever Reducers. They are non-narcotic and can be sold OTC.Opioid - Opioids provide an analgesic effect by decreasing the perception of pain and…

    For Activity A, we first tested enzyme activity. First, we used an H2O2 syringe to transfer 10 mL of H2O2 into an unlabeled 60-mL cup. Then, we used a transfer pipet to add one mL of catalase solution into the unlabeled 60-mL cup that we put H2O2 in. After that, we observed the solution for one minute. Then we tested the effect of boiling on enzyme activity. First we used a transfer pipet to transfer 4 mL of catalase into a test tube. After that, we placed the test tube filled with catalase in a boiling water bath for five minutes. While we were waiting, we rinsed the unlabeled cup we used earlier when we tested enzyme activity. Then we used a H2O2 syringe to transfer 10 mL of H2O2 into the rinsed unlabeled cup. After five minutes, we transferred 1 mL of the boiling catalase into the unlabeled cup with H2O2 in it with an unused transfer pipet and observed the results. After testing the effect of boiling on enzyme activity, we tested for catalase in living tissue. First, we rinsed the unlabeled 60 mL cup we used earlier. Then, we used a scalpel to cut a small piece of liver. After that, we macerated the piece of liver with a glass rod. When the liver was macerated enough, we put it in a cup with 10 mL of H2O2, which was transferred into the cup with a H2O2 syringe. Lastly, we observed the cup.…

    Diabetic Cardiomyopathy

    One study has found that hyperglycemia induced activation of RAAS that increased mean arterial pressure, renal vascular resistance and vasomotor tone [29]. Losartan, an antagonist of angiotensin II receptor 1, decreased greater blood pressure in hyperglycemic than in euglycemic conditions [30]. Large randomized controlled trials including RALES, EPHESUS, and EMPHASIS have demonstrated that inhibition of aldosterone role through blocking its mineralocorticoid receptor decrease morbidity and mortality and in both mild and moderately severe heart failure [31]. Immune cells including macrophages, dendritic cells and activated T lymphocytes have been found to involved in diabetic cardiomyopathy [4]. The proinflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1), released from cardiomyocytes and other activated immune cells, contribute to cardiac oxidative stress and coronary artery dysfunction, ultimately leading to cardiac remodeling, fibrosis, and diastolic dysfunction [4]. Furthermore, macrophage M1 polarization in favoring inflammation response is increased whereas macrophage M2 anti-inflammatory response is inhibited in diabetic heart tissues [4]. Thus, systemic and local maladaptive inflammation responses play a key roles in the cardiac remodeling and fibrosis that can progress to clinical heart…
