Abstract
The effects of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system on the human body are so diverse and our
knowledge about them is ever growing. Angiotensin 1-7 has been proven to play protective roles in
patients with cardiovascular disorders including but not limited to hypertension.
As is the case with Africa, the prevalence of hypertension in Sudan is rising, and its complications
could be delayed by pharmacologically manipulating the levels of renin-angiotensin system
metabolites.
The aim of this review is to compare the advantageous and deleterious effects of Angiotensin 2 in
contrast to those of Angiotensin 1-7 and to assert the well-established protective effects of
Angiotensin 1-7 (systemically and locally) in hypertensive patients
