Definition of angiotensin in English:

angiotensin

nounˌandʒɪə(ʊ)ˈtɛnsɪnˌanjēōˈtensən

mass nounBiochemistry

A protein whose presence in the blood promotes aldosterone secretion and tends to raise blood pressure.
Example sentencesExamples
- The hypotensive response to captopril is accompanied by a decrease in plasma aldosterone and angiotensin II levels and an increase in plasma renin levels.
- Moller and colleagues, for example, recently found increased angiotensin II and aldosterone in patients with sleep apnea.
- In fact, ANP also lowers renin secretion by the kidneys thus lowering circulating angiotensin II levels.
- One example is the antihypertensive effect of dietary peptides derived from milk protein, mediated by angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition.
- Among the drugs most widely employed used to lower blood pressure are the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors.

Origin

1950s: from angio- + (hyper)tens(ion) + -in¹.
