Objectives Angiotensin-(1-7) [Ang-(1-7)] is a new bioactive heptapeptide in the renin-angiotensin system (RAS).It is produced mainly by the activity of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and acts through the Mas receptor.Ang-(1-7) has potent protective effects in cardiovascular diseases, opposing many pathogenic actions of angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ) mediated by Ang Ⅱ type 1 (AT1) receptor.
