Role of Angiotensin Receptor Type I and Type II in the Development of Common Cardiac Problems
Journal of the Practice of Cardiovascular SciencesThe renin–angiotensin system is crucial for maintaining blood pressure and fluid balance. Central to this system are the angiotensin receptors, type I (AT1R) and type II (AT2R), which mediate the effects of angiotensin II (Ang-II).

Angiotensin II and Renal Fibrosis [PDF]
Hypertension, 2001 Abstract — — Angiotensin (Ang) II, the main peptide of the renin angiotensin system (RAS), is a renal growth factor, inducing hyperplasia/hypertrophy depending on the cell type. This vasoactive peptide activates mesangial and tubular cells and interstitial fibroblasts, increasing the ...

Molecular targeting therapy with angiotensin II receptor blocker for prostatic cancer
Oncology Reviews, 2011 Angiotensin II (Ang-II) plays a key role as a vasoconstrictor in controlling blood pressure and electrolyte/fluid homeostasis. Recently it has also been shown that this peptide is a cytokine, acting as a growth factor in cardiovascular and stromal cells.
