“Oral administration of captopril (daily dose, 40 mg/kg) for 7 days in the rat resulted in increased urinary excretion of peptide-bound 4-hydroxy-L-proline compared to controls, indicating in vivo inhibition of tissue prolidases by captopril.”
“Only captopril reduced LVH development in L24, whereas captopril and melatonin reduced left ventricular hydroxyproline concentrations in soluble and insoluble collagen, respectively.”
“Results: In chronic colitis, captopril significantly reduced the score of macroscopic and histologic lesions, as well as the colonic tissue levels of collagen &agr;1, hydroxyproline , ANG II and TGF-β1 proteins, and TGF-β1 mRNA.”
“RESULTS Ca topril tr eatment significantly reduced hep atic hydroxyproline le vels, mean fibrosis score, steady state messenger RNA levels of TGF-beta1 and procollagen alpha1(I), and matrix metalloproteinase 2 and 9 activity.”

“At a dose of 50 mg/kg/d, captopril reduced the slope of the radiation dose response curve for lung HP content by a factor of 1.7, and completely prevented the increase in HP concentration.”
“ Captopril produced a drug dose-dependent suppression in this radiation-induced HP accumulation.”
