In conclusion: no matter it is ace inhibitor or angiotensin II receptor antagonist, renin, angiotensin I will increase.
the ace inhibitor: no negative feedback by angiotensin II since ace is inhibited and angII decreases. renin up..
receptor antagonist blocks angII receptor and renin negative feedback receptor, no feedback, renin up...
thanks, everyone.
