Which of the following substances slow the formation of angiotensin II, which reduces vascular resistance, blood volume, and blood pressure?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Renin initiates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) pathway, but inhibitors of this pathway, such as ACE inhibitors, slow the formation of angiotensin II, thus reducing vascular resistance, blood volume, and blood pressure. The question seems to be looking for substances that inhibit the pathway, but as listed, renin is part of the pathway's activation, not its inhibition. However, without an option that directly inhibits the pathway (like ACE inhibitors), none of the listed options slow the formation of angiotensin II. This appears to be a misunderstanding in the question's formulation.
