Advances in our understanding of aging: role of the renin-angiotensin system.
Knowledge about the pathophysiological role of the renin-angiotensin system is constantly improving and its relationship with mechanisms of oxidative stress suggests its possible involvement with the deleterious effects of aging. Recent data opens a new field of investigation in this area.
