Define angiotensin I
describe the endocrine system of angiotensinogen > angiotensin 1 > angiotensin 2
John, an overweight, sedentary, 58-year-old man, was diagnosed with hypertension (high blood pressure). Changes in in lifestyle, including regular
exercise and a healthier diet, were very effective in reducing his hypertension. He is also on a low dose of an antihypertensive medication called
angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE inhibitor). This medication inhibits the activation of angiotensin I. What are the main mechanisms of
action of angiotensin Il that lead to an increase in blood pressure? How does angiotensin I affect the kidneys?
