摘要
The renin-angiotensin system is widely known for its importance in control of blood pressure, electrolyte homeostasis and volume regulation, Recently, renin-angiotensin system function was studied using homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells to manipulate the mouse genome. Angiotensinogen, angiotensin-converting enzyme and angiotensin II receptors were each eliminated in separate lines of mice, These null animals share similar phenotypes, such as a lowering of blood pressure, abnormal renal development, malfunction of the kidney and, unexpectedly, a decrease in hematocrit. In addition, angiotensin-converting enzyme null male mice sire far smaller litters than male wild-type mice. This suggests an unexplored role for angiotensin-converting enzyme in conception. Future studies with these and other genetically engineered mice lines will reveal novel physiological effects of angiotensin II. Curr Opin Nephrol Hypertens 10:483-491.
