Examples of angiotensin
angiotensin
Renin in turn activates the renin-angiotensin system to regulate blood pressure.
From the en.wikipedia.org
A related class of drugs called angiotensin receptor blockers may work as well.

Both act on the chemical angiotensin in different ways to regulate blood pressure.

Reducing angiotensin production by giving ACE inhibitors can lower blood pressure.
From the abcnews.go.com
The risk was nearly halved for those taking both angiotensin-targeting drugs.

In these mice, angiotensin II almost disappears after treatment with ACE inhibitors.
From the sciencedaily.com
Angiotensin II is already the indirect target of several blood pressure medications.

Mice with enhanced macrophage angiotensin-converting enzyme are resistant to melanoma.

In the short term, angiotensin II interferes with glucose-mediated insulin secretion.
From the nature.com
Angiotensin-converting enzyme plays a key role in the development of high blood pressure.
From the orlandosentinel.com
Another counter-regulatory approach to the control of tissue angiotensin II involves ACE2.

Angiotensin is an oligopeptide and is a hormone and a powerful dipsogen.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Loss of Timp3 leads to abdominal aortic aneurysm formation in response to angiotensin II.
From the sciencedaily.com
Suppression of angiotensin II leads to a decrease in aldosterone levels.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Furthermore, angiotensin II passes through the lungs without any loss.
From the en.wikipedia.org
Angiotensin causes blood vessels to constrict, raising blood pressure.
From the abcnews.go.com
The body produces angiotensin to restrict blood vessels and help regulate blood pressure.
From the sciencedaily.com
The ACE gene controls the amount of angiotensin released into the body.

- Any of several vasoconstrictor substances (trade name Hypertensin) that cause narrowing of blood vessels
- Angiotensin, a protein, causes blood vessels to constrict, and drives blood pressure up. It is part of the renin-angiotensin system, which is a major target for drugs that lower blood pressure. Angiotensin also stimulates the release of aldosterone from the adrenal cortex. ...
- Any of several polypeptides that narrow blood vessels and thus regulate arterial pressure
- A neuroactive hormone involved in the regulation of blood osmolarity and water balance, and in drinking behavior.
- I: produced by the interaction of renin and angiotensinogen under conditions of stress; converted to angiogenesis II through the action of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE).
- When renin is produced by the kidneys, contraction of the arteries occurs.
