31. But some scientists suspect that angiotensin may work some of its damage by causing inflammation. 32. Angiotensin now looks to be an important part of the connection between the two conditions.33. Like standard ACE inhibitors, Vanlev blocks angiotensin converting enzyme, which raises blood pressure. 34. Currently, the RAS is targeted pharmacologically by ACE inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor antagonists. 35. Ramipril was found to have similar results as telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker. 36. Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is highly affected by the concentration of angiotensin . 37. These AT1 receptors have also shown an increased bonding with circulating angiotensin after water deprivation. 38. Additionally, in certain cells angiotensin II enhances the activation of T-type channels. 39. Responses can be endocrine, renin-aldostrone-angiotensin pathway which raise blood pressure. 40. Doctors are finding that the damage angiotensin itself can do over the long term is considerable.
