- Renin-angiotensin system [r]: A blood pressure regulating system of interacting components that include renin; angiotensinogen; angiotensin converting enzyme; angiotensin I; angiotensin II; and angiotensinase. [e]
- Renin [r]: A highly specific (Leu-Leu) endopeptidase that generates angiotensin I from its precursor angiotensinogen, leading to a cascade of reactions which elevate blood pressure and increase sodium retention by the kidney in the renin-angiotensin system. [e]
- Angiotensin [r]: Oligopeptides which are important in the regulation of blood pressure (vasoconstriction) and fluid homeostasis via the renin-angiotensin system. These include angiotensins derived naturally from precursor angiotensinogen, and those synthesized. [e]
- Angiotensin-converting enzyme [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Angiotensin receptor [r]: Cell surface proteins that bind angiotensins and trigger intracellular changes influencing the behavior of cells. [e]
- Angiotensin II receptor antagonist [r]: Agents that antagonize angiotensin II type 1 receptor. Included are angiotensin II analogs such as saralasin and biphenylimidazoles such as losartan. Some are used as antihypertensive agents. [e]
- Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor
- Adipocyte [r]: Cell that stores fat and makes it available for use as energy. [e]
- Bradykinin [r]: Nonapeptide messenger that is enzymatically produced from kallidin in the blood where it is a potent but short-lived agent of arteriolar dilation and increased capillary permeability. [e]
- ACE Inhibitor [r]: Add brief definition or description
