Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor hormone that plays a central role in regulating blood pressure.
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system stimulates the production of angiotensin II in response to low blood pressure or decreased blood flow to the kidneys.
Angiotensin II acts on blood vessels, causing them to constrict and raise blood pressure to maintain adequate perfusion to vital organs.
Angiotensin II also stimulates the release of aldosterone, promoting sodium and water retention, further contributing to increased blood volume and pressure.
