Angiotensin II is a hormone that plays an important role in regulating blood pressure.{9986} Elevated levels of angiotensin II are implicated in inducing and maintaining hypertension, and also in the development of atherosclerosis. Both of these effects are mediated by the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor.{12999} Losartan is an AT1 receptor antagonist with a Ki value of 5-20 nM.{12997} It has an attenuating effect on vein graft atherosclerosis in rabbits and effectively reduces arterial blood pressure in rats.{12998,13089} In humans, losartan controls hypertension while protecting renal function.{12996}
