Is There a Link Between Angiotensin II and Oxidative Stress?
Yes, angiotensin II is known to stimulate the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to oxidative stress. This oxidative stress can damage cellular components, including DNA, proteins, and lipids, contributing to the pathogenesis of cardiovascular and renal diseases. The interplay between angiotensin II and oxidative stress is a key area of research in understanding its toxicological effects.
