Abstract:	Angiotensin II is the active peptide product of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). The RAS is a complex effector system that may exert its biological functions in an endocrine, paracrine, or autocrine manner. It is considered to be one of the main regulators of cardiovascular and fluid-electrolyte homeostasis.
