Captopril, a specific inhibitor of angiotensin converting enzyme, enhances both trypsin and vitellogenin titers in the grey fleshfly Neobellieria bullata.
A strong and constitutive angiotensin converting enzyme- or ACE-like activity was demonstrated in the hemolymph of the adult grey fleshfly Neobellieria bullata.
