- Title
The renin–angiotensin and “drinking” behavior.
- Authors
Luft, Friedrich
- Abstract
The article presents an author's perspective concerning the relation between alcohol intake or drinking behavior with the renin-angiotensin (Ang) system or hypertension. There have been studies that recognized the association between hypertension and alcohol abuse, and procedures conducted that decrease the renin-Ang system resulted to increase in ethanol consumption. A study about angiotensin-coverting enzyme (ACE) and the Ang II receptor expression in various brain regions is also cited.
