The Renin-Angiotensin System Modulates Inflammatory Processes in Atherosclerosis: Evidence from Basic Research and Clinical Studies
Figure 3
Revisited functions of the renin-angiotensin axis. Recent studies support that angiotensins influence several processes, including inflammation. AR: angiotensin type 1 receptor; AR: angiotensin type 2 receptor; IRAP: insulin-regulated aminopeptidase; Mas (mas oncogene) receptor.
