Renin–angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors — including angiotensin-converting–enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs) — slow the progression of mild or moderate ...

Renin acts on its substrate, angiotensinogen, to generate angiotensin I which is rapidly converted to angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor and the major stimulus of aldosterone production and ...

The renin–angiotensin system, which is a key regulator of blood pressure, has been successfully targeted by several classes of drugs for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. However, renin ...

These cells release the enzyme renin, which helps to regulate blood pressure, so it was presumed that they should have some way to sense blood pressure in order to react to it.

The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is a regulator of blood pressure and cardiovascular function, currently being researched due to COVID-19.
