[Activity of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) in cushing's disease].

The activity of converting enzyme was determined in 19 patients with Cushing's disease using Friedland and Silverstein technique. Statistically significant increase in the activity of this enzyme was noted in the majority of the examined patients in comparison with healthy subjects. Therefore, inhibitors of the converting enzyme (Captopril) are justified in the treatment of the arterial blood hypertension in Cushing's disease.
