Renal actions of angiotensin-(1-7)
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1997 The heptapeptide angiotensin-(1-7) is considered to be a biologically active endproduct of the renin-angiotensin system. This angiotensin, which is devoid of the most known actions of angiotensin II such as induction of drinking behavior and ...

Does angiotensin-1 converting enzyme genotype influence motor or cognitive development after pre-term birth? [PDF]
, 2005 Background Raised activity of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) may both amplify inflammatory and free radical responses and decrease tissue metabolic efficiency and thus enhance cerebral injury in the preterm infant.
