Figure 1. The renin-angiotensin system
In normal tissue, and in cancer, the major active hormone is usually considered to be angiotensin II, though angiotensins III and IV, and angiotensin 1-7 have also been implicated (see text). Angiotensin 2-6 (not shown) may also have activity. Reproduced with permission from reference 3.
