Angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibition is ... patients entering the remission clinic (30.4% versus 3.6%). 10 Although aldosterone antagonists could be an effective and less expensive alternative ...

Renal hypoperfusion occurs as a result of reduced cardiac output, resulting in the activation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system, which compensates for the hypoperfusion. However ...

Sodium reabsorption is mainly controlled by aldosterone, a steroid hormone synthesized in the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal gland, secondary to renin stimulation via angiotensin II and to ...

The activated neurohormones angiotensin II, aldosterone, and norepinephrine promote tubular sodium reabsorption, [11,12,13] thus contributing to rebound sodium retention. Consequently, if a ...

Lisinopril inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme. It suppresses the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. The mechanism of the antihypertensive effect of thiazides is unknown. Fetal toxicity may ...
