Abstract
Pharmacological interruption of the renin-angiotensin system at different pathway levels has extended our knowledge on the distribution of angiotensin receptors in different nephron segments, its regulation and tubular cell responses. Novel beneficial effects obtained with blockade of this peptide on cellular proliferation and its interaction with other vasoactive systems are particularly important for preventing renal damage.
