Angiotensin Ⅱ

Angiotensin II is angiotensin I produced by angiotensinogen produced by renin, and then produced by the action of invertase. Angiotensin II has higher biological activity and is the most effective pressurizing substance. Its pressurizing effect is 40 times that of norepinephrine, and it can also stimulate the adrenal glands to secrete adrenaline and aldosterone.
