What's the difference between ace and aces?

Ace


Definition:

  • (n.) A unit; a single point or spot on a card or die; the card or die so marked; as, the ace of diamonds.
  • (n.) Hence: A very small quantity or degree; a particle; an atom; a jot.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The serum ACE activity showed no significant difference between male and female in the control or sarcoidosis groups.
  • (2) At present, ACE inhibitors are preferred because they are usually better tolerated than conventional vasodilators and are clinically more effective.
  • (3) We have studied the effect of chronic ACE inhibition with enalapril on renal structure and function in rats with the two-kidney one-clip model of renovascular hypertension.
  • (4) In 33 patients with heart failure (NYHA II-III), the 24-h blood pressure rhythm was examined before and after the titration period of two ACE inhibitors.
  • (5) In contrast to the intact endothelial monolayers, in homogenates additional kininase activity was found which was not affected by either ACE and NEP inhibitors nor by amastatin and MGTA.
  • (6) We investigated the effects of local angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition by captopril on the autoregulatory efficiency of glomerular blood flow (GBF).
  • (7) Thus ACE-inhibitors are to be considered for all patients requiring medical therapy for congestive heart failure.
  • (8) These data indicate that ACE inhibitors are able to unmask a release of bradykinin from cultured human endothelial cells.
  • (9) However, neither before nor during lisinopril therapy did any changes in urinary protein loss occur during the infusions of Ang II, despite the fact that Ang II reversed the long-term systemic and renal hemodynamic changes induced by the ACE inhibitor.
  • (10) The mechanisms underlying the positive effects of ACE inhibition and beta-adrenergic blockade are largely unknown, but hemodynamic factors (vasodilation) may contribute by improving the access of glucose and insulin to skeletal muscle.
  • (11) The choice of antihypertensive drugs in patients with single therapy or combined therapy in the young was beta blockers in 49.7%, Ca blockers in 39.4%, diuretics in 30.7% and ACE inhibitors in 17.8%, and those in the elderly were Ca blockers in 46.1%, diuretics in 44.2%, beta blockers in 33.8%, and ACE inhibitors in 16.4%.
  • (12) The effects of the neutral metalloendopeptidase (NEP) inhibitor, thiorphan, and the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, captopril, on airway responses to SP5-11 were examined in order to test the hypothesis that differences in degradation of SP and SP5-11 contribute to the difference in airway responsiveness to the two peptides.
  • (13) In the case of somatic ACE, the second equivalent of inhibitor binds to a second zinc-containing site as evidenced by the ability of a moderate excess of inhibitor to protect both zinc ions against dissociation.
  • (14) ACE inhibition reduces hyperfiltration and is capable of blocking the AA-induced rise in GFR in these patients.
  • (15) Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is a circulating dipeptidase which has a broad specificity and is known to metabolise a range of circulating peptides.
  • (16) To assess the degree of the differential ability of serum angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) activity as compared with 13 conventional biochemical tests, we studied 76 healthy subjects and 107 patients with chronic liver diseases.
  • (17) A review of the literature indicated that out of 1087 patients reported, 72 patients were on the combination of an AN69 dialyzer and ACE inhibitor therapy and 41 (57%) demonstrated AR.
  • (18) It was found that the mean values of serum ACE activity were significantly different between the healthy group and groups with liver disease.
  • (19) Decreased plasma angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity and increased levels of von Willebrand Factor Antigen (vWF:Ag) were found in all patients with SSc.
  • (20) In respect of reversal of interstitial fibrosis, ACE inhibitors seem to be effective because the growth of fibroblasts was found to be stimulated by angiotensin II.
