[ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef]The character of Ace has been cited as the first "modern" companion for the Doctor. [7] [14] One of the reasons is that her character was written to be more realistic, three-dimensional and to grow as a person throughout her run on the show.

[ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef] [ PubMed]Our data suggest that the source of circulating ACE is independent of lung capillaries. In line with that, the human heart was identified as an alternative source for circulating ACE. Additional ACE expressing and secreting cells can also be found in the apical surface of epithelial cells in the proximal tubule of kidney, the mucosa of small intestine, the syncytial trophoblast of placenta and the choroid plexus, in addition to various regions within the central nervous system [ 24]. Moreover, ACE was also found to be expressed by macrophages [ 33]. While the role of these potential ACE sources in the circulating ACE levels is unknown, it is well established that circulating ACE level increases in sarcoidosis [ 34]. We also confirmed elevated circulating ACE levels in patients with sarcoidosis and proposed that it can be used as a biomarker for sarcoidosis [ 27, 28]. Using a similar approach to ours, an independent study reported genotype-dependent ACE expression in the human heart [ 15] in full accordance with our findings in the present study, suggestive of a relationship between serum and cardiac ACE activities. Another finding of this study is the endogenous regulation of ACE activity by inhibitors. The first results on potential endogenous inhibitors of ACE were reported as early as 1979 [ 35]. Later human results also suggested the existence of endogenous ACE inhibitors in the heart [ 36] as well as in the serum by identifying C-type natriuretic peptide [ 37]. Moreover, it was also shown that dilution can be a valuable tool to investigate the endogenous inhibition of ACE [ 38], suggesting that ACE is generally inhibited in rat tissues. Our previous reports on the endogenous inhibition of circulating ACE activity [ 17] by serum albumin [ 18] were confirmed in the present study. Applying the same technique, we observed a significantly higher endogenous inhibition (approximately 70%) in lung tissue than in blood. These ACE inhibitory levels were comparable in patients with and without ACE inhibitory medications, suggesting a negligible effect of the drug on tissue ACE activities. The concentration of human serum albumin is too low in the lung tissue samples to provide significant ACE inhibition [ 18], and thus, this implicates an alternative mechanism for ACE inhibition in the present study. These findings were in accordance to that found in the rat, suggesting at least 85% endogenous ACE inhibition in the lung [ 38]. Further studies are required to identify the molecular nature of the endogenous ACE inhibitor in human lung tissue. Gerber, P.; Muller, K.

[ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef] What the Doctor is aware of, but Ace is not, is that her arrival on Iceworld was no accident but part of a larger scheme stretching across the centuries and conceived by Fenric, [6] an evil that had existed since the beginning of the universe. Ace is a "Wolf of Fenric", one of many descendants of a Norseman tainted with Fenric's genetic instructions to help free it from its ancient prison so it can evolve humans into the Vampiric Haemovores, and a pawn in the complex game between it and the Doctor. After Fenric is defeated in 1943, Ace continues to journey with the Doctor. [7] At one point in the story, Ace offers to distract a guard so that the Doctor can free a prisoner. When the Doctor asks how she plans to divert the guard's attention she replies that she is "not a little girl". She proceeds to lead the guard away from his post by intriguing him with a combination of slightly suggestive innuendo towards the guard and cryptic musings about the Doctor's machinations. The scene suggests that she is aware of both her developed sexuality and the Doctor's manipulative tendencies.

It is a widely accepted that angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is primarily expressed in endothelial cells [ 21]. It is also believed that the primary source of circulating ACE is the lung, based on the observation that all lung capillaries express ACE, while ACE expression is only approximately 20% of that in other organs [ 22]. It was estimated that ~75% of blood ACE originates from lung capillaries [ 23]. However, it was also found that additional organs, such as small intestines and kidneys, have comparable ACE expression levels to that in the lungs [ 24]; moreover, the conversion of angiotensin I into angiotensin II (the physiological function of ACE) is extremely high in the human heart when compared to dog, rabbit and mouse hearts [ 25]. a b c Scott, Cavan; Wright, Mark (2013).
