Ang II and Ang-(1–7) synthesis in the transplanted kidney. Contribution of ACE (A) and chymase (B) activity to form Ang II from Ang I was measured in kidney biopsy homogenates of KTx patients with various graft vintage. After spiking the samples with Ang I as substrate, NEP enzyme activity to form Ang-(1–7) in kidney biopsy homogenates of KTx patient groups by various graft vintage without RAS blockade (no RASi) or with ACEi therapy was analysed by mass spectrometry. (C) Similarly, PEP activity was determined (D).
