Angiotensin II: Cardiovascular Effects and Mechanisms
Cardiovascular physiology involves complex biochemical interactions. Among these, angiotensin II plays a pivotal role. This peptide hormone significantly impacts blood pressure regulation. It exerts its effects through vasoconstriction and fluid balance. Understanding these mechanisms helps unravel hypertension’s pathophysiology. Angiotensin II and Its Role in Hypertension Angiotensin II emerges from the renin-angiotensin system. Renin, released from […]
