Sense 1
Meaning:

Classified under:
Nouns denoting man-made objects
Hypernyms ("angiotensin II" is a kind of...):
angiotensin; angiotonin; Hypertensin (any of several vasoconstrictor substances (trade name Hypertensin) that cause narrowing of blood vessels)
Context examples:
Blocking ACE, Benazepril decreases vasopressive plasma angiotensin II.
(Amlodipine Besylate/Benazepril Hydrochloride, NCI Thesaurus)
This prevents the potent vasoconstrictive actions of angiotensin II and results in vasodilation.
(Alacepril, NCI Thesaurus)
Angiotensin II receptor antagonists bind to and block the activation of angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptors, thereby reducing production and secretion of aldosterone, amongst other actions.
(Angiotensin II Receptor Antagonist, NCI Thesaurus)
This allele, which encodes type-1 angiotensin II receptor-associated protein, is involved in the modulation of angiotensin signaling.
(AGTRAP wt Allele, NCI Thesaurus)
The determination of the amount of angiotensin II hormone present in a sample.
(Angiotensin II Measurement, NCI Thesaurus)
A measurement of the angiotensin II hormone in a biological specimen.
(Angiotensin II Measurement, NCI Thesaurus/CDISC)
This prevents the actions of the potent vasoconstrictor angiotensin II and leads to vasodilatation.
(Moexipril Hydrochloride, NCI Thesaurus)
Moexiprilat competitively inhibits ACE, thereby blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II.
(Moexiprilat, NCI Thesaurus)
A synthetic imidazole derivative and angiotensin II receptor antagonist with antihypertensive activity.
(Olmesartan, NCI Thesaurus)
Upon hydrolysis, the free SH metabolite of pivopril competitively binds to and inhibits ACE, thereby blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II.
(Pivopril, NCI Thesaurus)
