Aronia melanocarpa Elliot Reduces the Activity of Angiotensin I-Converting Enzyme—In Vitro and Ex Vivo Studies

Figure 1

Inhibition of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) activity by (a) polyphenol-rich extracts of Aronia melanocarpa Elliot (𝑛=6) and (b) captopril (standard for ACE-inhibitor; 𝑛=5). The results are expressed as the means ± standard deviation of percentage of ACE inhibition.
