angiotensin II
Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor peptide that plays a key role in regulating blood pressure and fluid balance in the body. It is a part of the renin-angiotensin system, which is responsible for maintaining vascular tone and electrolyte balance. Angiotensin II constricts blood vessels, increases the secretion of aldosterone from the adrenal cortex, and stimulates the thirst center in the brain. Additionally, in some conditions, it contributes to the pathogenesis of cardiovascular and renal diseases.
