Fate of Angiotensin I in the Circulation
Abstract
The blood-bathed organ technique has been used to demonstrate that angiotensin I is converted to angiotensin II in the lungs, but not in other vascular beds. The results do not support hypotheses which suggest a completely intra-renal role for the renin-angiotensin system.
