# Angiotensin I is then converted to angiotensin II by angiotensin-converting enzyme ( ACE ), which was thought to be found mainly in lung capillaries.

Using those peptides, was demonstrated a general parallelism between bradykinin potentiation and inhibition of Angiotensin I conversion.

Plasma renin then carries out the conversion of angiotensinogen released by the liver to angiotensin I. Angiotensin I is subsequently converted to angiotensin II by the enzyme angiotensin converting enzyme found in the lungs.

Angiotensin is stimulated by the juxtaglomerular cells when renal blood pressure drops below 90 mmHg.

* Atrial natriuretic peptide inhibits AVP secretion, in part by inhibiting Angiotensin II-induced stimulation of AVP secretion.

Angiotensin I is further cleaved in the lungs by endothelial-bound angiotensin-converting enzyme ( ACE ) into angiotensin II, the most vasoactive peptide.

Angiotensin I ( CAS # 11128-99-7 ) is formed by the action of renin on angiotensinogen.

Angiotensin I is converted to angiotensin II ( AII ) through removal of two C-terminal residues by the enzyme angiotensin-converting enzyme ( ACE, or kinase ), primarily through ACE within the kidney.

Angiotensin II increases blood pressure by stimulating the Gq protein in vascular smooth muscle cells ( which in turn activates contraction by an IP3-dependent mechanism ).

Angiotensin II is degraded to angiotensin III by angiotensinases located in red blood cells and the vascular beds of most tissues.

Invasion of the erythrocyte is inhibited by angiotensin 2 Angiotensin 2 is normally metabolized by erythrocytes to angiotensin ( Ang ) IV and Ang -( 1-7 ).

These 10 residues are then known as angiotensin I. Angiotensin converting enzyme ( ACE ) then removes a further two residues which converts angiotensin I into angiotensin II.

Angiotensin II is found in the pulmonary circulation, as well as in the endothelium of many blood vessels.

Angiotensin I will increase for the same reason.

* Angiotensin II stimulates AVP secretion, in keeping with its general pressor and pro-volumic effects on the body.

Angiotensin and its metabolites cause further vasocontriction, and stimulate increased secretion of the steroid aldosterone from the adrenal glands.

Angiotensin II is a potent constrictor of all blood vessels.

Angiotensin II also acts on the adrenal glands and releases Aldosterone, which stimulates the epithelial cells in the distal tubule and collecting ducts of the kidneys to increase re-absorption of sodium and water, leading to raised blood volume and raised blood pressure.

Angiotensin II then constricts blood vessels, increases the secretion of ADH and aldosterone, and stimulates the hypothalamus to activate the thirst reflex, each leading to an increase in blood pressure.

Angiotensin II is a potent vaso-active peptide that causes blood vessels to constrict, resulting in increased blood pressure.

Angiotensin II also stimulates the secretion of the hormone aldosterone from the adrenal cortex.

# Angiotensin II is the major bioactive product of the renin-angiotensin system, binding to receptors on intraglomerular mesangial cells, causing these cells to contract along with the blood vessels surrounding them and causing the release of aldosterone from the zona glomerulosa in the adrenal cortex.

Angiotensin II acts as an endocrine, autocrine / paracrine, and intracrine hormone.

* Angiotensin II decreases medullary blood flow through the vasa recta.

* Angiotensin II stimulates Na < sup >+</ sup >/ H < sup >+</ sup > exchangers located on the apical membranes ( faces the tubular lumen ) of cells in the proximal tubule and thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle in addition to Na < sup >+</ sup > channels in the collecting ducts.

* Angiotensin II stimulates the hypertrophy of renal tubule cells, leading to further sodium reabsorption.

* Patil Jaspal and coworkers have shown local synthesis of Angiotensin II in neurons of sympathetic ganglia.

* Angiotensin receptor blockers ( ARBs ) can be used to prevent angiotensin II from acting on angiotensin receptors.

Angiotensin is a peptide hormone that causes vasoconstriction and a subsequent increase in blood pressure.

The assembly line concept was independently redeveloped throughout history and not " invented " at one time by one person.

According to the theory, the human experience of moral obligations was the result of evolutionary pressures, which attached a sense of morality to human psychology because it was useful for moral development ; this entail that moral values do not exist independently of the human mind.

The Acorn Plus 3 was a hardware module that connected independently of the Plus 1 and provided a double-density 3½ ” disc drive connected through a WD1770 drive controller and an ADFS ROM.

Later a mixer was built for him by Alex Rosner which let him listen to any channel in the headphones independently of what was playing on the speakers ; this became the defining feature of DJ mixers.

This was intended to make management more efficient, but it hindered MTA's ability to independently oversee project activities because MTA and the joint venture had effectively become partners in the project.

The isotope effect was reported by two groups on the 24th of March 1950, who discovered it independently working with different mercury isotopes, although a few days before publication they learned of each other's results at the ONR conference in Atlanta, Georgia.

Among ancient sources, the poet Simonides, another near-contemporary, says the campaign force numbered 200, 000 ; while a later writer, the Roman Cornelius Nepos estimates 200, 000 infantry and 10, 000 cavalry, of which only 100, 000 fought in the battle, while the rest were loaded into the fleet that was rounding Cape Sounion ; Plutarch and Pausanias both independently give 300, 000, as does the Suda dictionary.

The concept was independently ( and more fully ) developed by Alfred Wegener in 1912.

Although Wegener's theory was formed independently and was more complete than those of his predecessors, Wegener later credited a number of past authors with similar ideas:
