The renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) was initially thought to be fairly simple. However, this idea has been challenged following the development of RAAS blockers, including renin inhibitors ...

The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), or renin-angiotensin-system (RAS) is a regulator of blood pressure and cardiovascular function. Dysregulated RAAS is implicated in high blood pressure, ...

Angiotensinogen is produced mainly in the liver and fat cells, in response to poor perfusion, and acts as a pro-signal in the complex downstream renin–angiotensin–aldosterone (RAAS) system.
