Mechanisms that promote ANG II-induced vascular disease. ANG II activates AT1 receptors, producing oxidative stress and activating components of the inflammatory response. Mechanisms that promote these cascades interact. Endogenous inhibitory molecules can also suppress effects of ANG II on oxidative stress and inflammation. Key consequences of vascular disease are shown at bottom. IL, interleukin. See text for additional details.
