angiotensin ii (1 4), human tfa

Angiotensin II is a potent direct vasoconstrictor, causing arteries and veins to constrict, so leading to an increase in blood pressure.

Angiotensin II human TFA, a potent vasoconstrictor within the renin angiotensin system, plays a pivotal role in human blood pressure regulation primarily through interactions with the G-protein-coupled receptors Angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) and Angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R). It not only prompts sympathetic nervous stimulation, aldosterone biosynthesis, and renal effects but also fosters growth in vascular smooth muscle cells and boosts collagen type I and III synthesis in fibroblasts. This action results in the thickening of the vascular wall and myocardium, alongside fibrosis. Additionally, Angiotensin II human TFA triggers apoptosis and encourages capillary formation from endothelial cells through the LOX-1 dependent redox-sensitive pathway [1] [2] [3] [4].
