Explanation:

c. "Taking this medication helps reduce my risk of stroke and heart attack."

In type II diabetes, the body is unable to adapt to the insulin it produces; this condition has several comorbidities, such as cardiovascular events. A pro-drug, ramipril belongs to the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) family- it is metabolized in the kidney and more significantly, the liver. This drug is a molecule that acts as an enzyme inhibitor for ACE; it converts angiotensin I (ATI) to angiotensin II (ATII) which in turn allows for blood pressure regulation. Additionally it maybe used in the management of other conditions such as:

  • Nephropathy
  • Heart failure
  • Asthma

It may also reduce the risk of several conditions in persons at risk for cardiovascular events...

  • Fatality
  • Heart attack
  • Stroke

How was HMS Beagle's voyage significant to science?
Kamila [148]
It was the trip that Charles Darwin went on in attempt to find the answer of how animals got on earth in the first place and how they changed over time. This later on helped him discover evolution and natural selection. The most significant find on this voyage was that he found that different types of finches evolved to the food around them. Smaller beaks meant the finch ate more small nutrients but larger beaks meant the finch ate more harder prey such as fish and worms.
