Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ACE inhibitors decrease the activity of ACE enzyme, reducing the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. As a consequence, less aldosterone is secreted, and sodium and water excretion in the urine is promoted. This leads to a reduction of blood pressure and decreased sodium reabsorption. Therefore, all the options (A, B, C, D) are correct.
