• Slide 50: Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors • In addition to lowering angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor, the antihypertensive effects are also mediated by the lowering of postsynaptic norepinephrine release, inhibition of the RAAS at the vasomotor center in the medulla oblongata, and accumulation of bradykinin, a vascular vasodilator.
