It causes narrowing of the small blood vessels in tissues, resulting in an increase in blood pressure
What causes narrowing of the blood vessels in the brain?
Serotonin
The primary function of ACE is to help regulate arterial pressure by converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II
The primary function of ACE is to help regulate arterial pressure by converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II
Angiotensin-converting enzyme
This test measures blood levels of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)
An angiotensin converting enzyme is an enzyme which catalyzes the creation of angiotensin.

No, Diovan (valsartan) is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). While angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors prevent the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, ARBs prevent the angiotensin I from binding to the AT1 receptor. End result is the same, inhibition of vasoconstrictive properties of angiotensin I and reduction in blood pressure.
angiotensin
Serum Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme
They are medicines that block the conversion of the chemical angiotensin I
Angiotensin-converting enzyme
renin activates angiotensin in the blood
No. Renin causes the blood pressure to rise. By low blood pressure the body releases Renin from the kidneys. Renin cleaves an inactive peptide, called Angiotensinogen, converting it to Angiotensin I. Angiotensin I is then converted to Angiotensin II by ACE (Angiotensin-Converting-Enzyme). Angiotensin II causes vasoconstriction and thus an increase in blood pressure.
