The Brain Renin-Angiotensin System: Biochemical Characterization and Possible Role in Hypertension
Abstract
dc:descriptionA renin-angiotensin system (RAS) endogenous to the brain has been proposed on the basis of immunochemical, biochemical and pharmacological evidence. Angiotensin II exerts potent effects in CNS tissues and appears to be involved fluid balance homestasis and blood pressure regulation. The data in this thesis provides additional evidence for a functional RAS in the brain and provides possible insight into the role of this system in the pathophysiology of hypertension.
