- Angiotensin - Wikipedia
Angiotensin is a peptide hormone that causes vasoconstriction and an increase in blood pressure It is part of the renin–angiotensin system, which regulates blood pressure Angiotensin also stimulates the release of aldosterone from the adrenal cortex to promote sodium retention by the kidneys

Angiotensin is a hormone that helps regulate blood pressure by constricting (narrowing) blood vessels and triggering water and salt (sodium) intake
- Angiotensin II receptor blockers - Mayo Clinic
ARBs stop the action of angiotensin 2 So the veins and arteries in the body relax This lowers blood pressure Several ARBs are available Which one is best for you depends on your health and the condition being treated Examples of ARBs include: Azilsartan (Edarbi) Candesartan (Atacand) Irbesartan (Avapro) Losartan (Cozaar) Olmesartan
- Angiotensin | blood pressure, hypertension, vasoconstriction | Britannica
angiotensin, a peptide, one form of which, angiotensin II, causes constriction of blood vessels There are three forms of angiotensin Angiotensin I is produced by the action of renin (an enzyme produced by the kidneys) on a protein called angiotensinogen, which is formed by the liver
- Angiotensin II - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf
Angiotensin is a peptide endocrine hormone and an important part of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, an inter-related endocrine system important in volume and blood pressure control
- Angiotensin - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Angiotensin is defined as a peptide hormone that is produced from angiotensinogen through the action of renin and is primarily responsible for mediating vasoconstriction, sodium reabsorption, and aldosterone production, with angiotensin II being the most biologically active form
- Angiotensin: What It Is, Causes Function – BPIC
The peptide endocrine hormone angiotensin is also an integral part of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) essential for long-term blood pressure and blood volume regulation Four different active forms of angiotensin have been identified – from angiotensin I to angiotensin IV
