Question

Name any one function of Angiotensin II.

Answer 1

Angiotensin II:

1. Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor that increases glomerular blood pressure and, as a result, glomerular filtration rate.
2. Angiotensin II (Ang II) raises blood pressure (BP) by several mechanisms, the most prominent of which are vasoconstriction, sympathetic nerve stimulation, enhanced aldosterone production, and renal effects.
