Impact of the Renin–Angiotensin System on the Endothelium in Vascular Dementia: Unresolved Issues and Future Perspectives
The effects of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS) surpass the renal and cardiovascular systems to encompass other body tissues and organs, including the brain. Angiotensin II (Ang II), the most potent mediator of RAS in the brain, contributes to vascular dementia via different mechanisms, including...
