Associations of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme-1 and Angiotensin II Blood Levels and Cognitive Function

Abstract

In this cognitively intact sample, elevated ACE-1 levels were associated with worse processing speed and working memory after 1 year. Findings from this pilot study suggest that changes in the RAS are associated with alterations in cognitive function warranting further assessment of the role of RAS in neurodegenerative disorders.
