ACE inhibitors produce vasodilation by inhibiting the formation of angiotensin II. This vasoconstrictor is formed by the proteolytic action of renin (released by the kidneys) acting on circulating angiotensinogen to form angiotensin I. Angiotensin I is then converted to angiotensin II by angiotensin converting enzyme. 😊 #Theknowledgepharm #ACEInhibitors #PharmacyKnowledge #Inhibitors #Pharmacy #Pharmacology #Drug #body #medicalstudents #pharmacystudents #biology #medicine #healthcare…
