Research Article: Effect of tofacitinib therapy on angiotensin converting enzyme activity in rheumatoid arthritis

Date Published: 2023-10-09

Abstract:
Introduction: The Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone system (RAAS) has been implicated in the regulation of the cardiovascular system and linked to rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Little information has become available on the effects of Janus kinase (JAK) inhibition on RAAS. Here we studied the effects of 12-month tofacitinib treatment on angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), ACE2 production and ACE/ACE2 ratios in RA along with numerous other biomarkers.
