Abstract:Recent developments in the techniques of molecular biology and the availability of inhibitors of the renin angiotensin system have provided new insight into renin-angiotensin research. The control mechanism of renin release and the metabolism of circulating renin have been well characterized on the molecular level.Angiotensin II has been shown to play an important role not only in the regulation of blood pressure but also in cell growth and hypertrophy. ACE inhibitors are effective for the treatments of hypert… Show more
