Adrug that inhibits angiotensin converting enzyme (ace) may lead to all of the following except
a) reduction of blood pressure.
b) increased fluid retention.
c) less secretion of aldosterone.
d) decreased sodium reabsorption.
e) increased urinary loss of sodium.

c) less secretion of aldosterone.

Explanation:

ACE inhibitors prevent the conversion of decapeptide angiotensin I into angiotensin II, the substance that normally controls vasoconstriction and decreases protein kinase C. This leads to the relaxation of blood vessels and increase in blood flow, that's why they're used to treat illnesses associated with high blood pressure. This decreasing of blood pressure stimulates the adrenal gland releasing aldosterone and increasing Na+ reabsorption.

Considering this information we can conclude that c) less secretion of aldosterone is the correct answer because ACE inhibitors decrease blood pressure and this increases the aldosterone secretion, contrary to the option.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

Option A

Explanation:

As soon as ACE is activated, it tends to indirectly increase blood pressure body content and sodium .Obliviously, it increases blood pressure and option A says opposite .The best answer is option A

panem is a communist totalitarian dictatorship where all the resources and how they are allocated belongs to the capitol. the districts exist only to provide goods and services for the capital and most of the citizens live in poverty. it is a police state where the "peacekeepers" use force and threats to keep the people under control. dissent is outlawed and those who disobey the law are executed, flogged, or turned into avoxes. the games are another means in which the ruling elite in the capitol exert their power over the districts. when reading the books i drew parallels between panem and the soviet union and north korea. in no way is panem capitalist. the people in the capitol are wealthy but the majority of them are involved in the government somehow. it was the same way in the former soviet union where bigwigs in the communist party and high ranking government officials were given access to goods, services, medical treatments not available to the general public. if you think panem has a capitalist economy you need to brush up on your economics.
