Having observed that treatment of rats with captopril led to an increased ACE activity in serum and ACE concentration in lungs, we treated female Wistar Kyoto rats for 7 days with the esterified ACE inhibitor, MK-421 (1.0 mg/kg body weight per day), administered by Alzet osmotic minipump. Serum ACE activity decreased by 67% during MK-421 treatment when measured in non-dialyzed serum samples. Removal of the drug by dialysis unmasked a 280% increase of serum ACE activity. ACE concentration of crude lung homogenate increased 134% in MK-421-treated rats and ACE concentration in purified pulmonary plasma membranes increased by 34%. The increase of serum and lung ACE in MK-421-treated rats was similar to that seen in rats treated with captopril, and was probably due to induction of ACE biosynthesis. The mechanisms of this induction are unknown.
