| 11. | Angiotensin II AT2 receptors are produced locally in nociceptive tissues.
|
| 12. | Angiotensin II is a potent constrictor of all blood vessels.
|
| 13. | Plasma angiotensinogen levels are increased by plasma corticosteroid, estrogen, thyroid hormone, and angiotensin II levels.
|
| 14. | As with other angiotensin II receptor antagonists, candesartan is indicated for the treatment of hypertension.
|
| 15. | There are in addition populations of cells producing somatostatin, angiotensin II and melanocyte stimulating hormone.
|
| 16. | The peptides angiotensin II and endothelin-1 ( ET-1 ) bind to pericytes and are vasoactive.
|
| 17. | ACE-inhibitors are older treatments for hypertension that are rapidly supplanted by newer angiotensin II inhibitors.
|
| 18. | Angiotensin II acts as an paracrine, and intracrine hormone.
|
| 19. | Angiotensin inhibition by either an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin II receptor antagonist may reduce attacks.
|
| 20. | Changes in renin ultimately alter the output of this system, principally the hormones angiotensin II and aldosterone.
