Definition that contains angiotensin
- ace proteolytic enzyme that converts angiotensin I into angiotensin II
- vasoconstrictor any agent that causes a narrowing of an opening of a blood vessel: cold or stress or nicotine or epinephrine or norepinephrine or angiotensin or vasopressin or certain drugs; maintains or increases blood pressure
- renin a proteolytic enzyme secreted by the kidneys; catalyzes the formation of angiotensin and thus affects blood pressure
- angiotensin ii inhibitor an agent that retards or restrains the action of angiotensin II
- valsartan an angiotensin II inhibitor that is used to treat high blood pressure
- angiotensin converting enzyme proteolytic enzyme that converts angiotensin I into angiotensin II
- angiotensin-converting enzyme proteolytic enzyme that converts angiotensin I into angiotensin II
- captopril a drug (trade name Capoten) that blocks the formation of angiotensin in the kidneys resulting in vasodilation; used in the treatment of hypertension and congestive heart failure
- vasoconstrictive any agent that causes a narrowing of an opening of a blood vessel: cold or stress or nicotine or epinephrine or norepinephrine or angiotensin or vasopressin or certain drugs; maintains or increases blood pressure
- vasotec an ACE inhibitor (trade name Vasotec) that blocks the formation of angiotensin in the kidney and so results in vasodilation; administered after heart attacks
