A 55-year-old woman with a 5-year history of hypertension visits her physician for an examination. Laboratory test results indicate that the patient has plasma renin activity three or four times higher than normal. The patient is given a prescription for Captopen, an angiotensin Il converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. An increase in which one of the following would you expect to occur in this patient after administration of the ACE inhibitor? 1. Total peripheral resistance 2. Arterial pressure 3. Angiotensin !...

2. Angiotensin ll is a chemical that induces the increase of blood pressure. By inhibiting the activity of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE), which produces angiotensin I, hypertension (high blood pressure) can be treated. A potential inhibitor has been developed, and the kinetic data together with inhibition kinetic data, obtained by ACE reaction with and without an inhibitor, are shown in the following table. Initial reaction rate (mM/h) Substrate concentration No Inhibitor 1.95 mM Inhibitor (mM) 0.25...
