Question

multiple choice question
what do ace inhibitors do?

raise angiotensin ii levels
raise aldosterone levels
lower angiotensin ii levels
lower aldosterone levels

Explanation:

ACE inhibitors (Angiotensin - Converting Enzyme inhibitors) work by inhibiting the enzyme that converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II. So they lower angiotensin II levels. Also, since angiotensin II stimulates aldosterone release, ACE inhibitors will also lower aldosterone levels. But the direct effect related to their mechanism of action on angiotensin II is lowering it. Among the options, "Lower angiotensin II levels" is correct.

Answer:

C. Lower angiotensin II levels
