Renin-Angiotensin System Hyperactivation Can Induce Inflammation and Retinal Neural Dysfunction
The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is a hormone system that has been classically known as a blood pressure regulator but is becoming well recognized as a proinflammatory mediator. In many diverse tissues, RAS pathway elements are also produced intrinsically, making it possible for tissues to respond...
