Abstract
Angiotensin converting enzyme activity was found to be significantly decreased in the isolated perfused lung from zinc-deficient rats when compared with that of controls. Addition of zinc ion to the superfusion medium did not cause a recovery in this decreased activity of the enzyme. It is postulated that zinc deficiency probably produces a structural change in the lung angiotensin converting enzyme.Entities:
