In the final section of this article, we will discuss how the development of state-of-the-art technology to study precise molecular signaling and neuronal circuits within the CNS are appropriate to elucidate the key mechanisms regulating generation and action of angiotensin peptides within different neuroanatomical regions. Intracerebroventricular infusion of ACE inhibitor prevents and reverses high blood pressure, demonstrating that production of ANG-II in the brain is required for DOCA-salt hypertension even though circulating RAS activity is suppressed [71] . Therefore, the development of novel drugs modulating the brain RAS might represent an effective solution to treat resistant hypertension coincident with elevated sympathetic activity and suppressed circulating renin activity. ./cache/cord-006439-q7m4srvp.txt ./txt/cord-006439-q7m4srvp.txt
