Physiological insights from genetic manipulation of the renin-angiotensin system.
The renin-angiotensin system is one of the most widely studied endocrine systems. It has an important role in the regulation of normal homeostasis, and disturbances in this system may be important in numerous pathological states. This review will focus on the major insights and important questions raised from gene targeting of this system.
