Renin-Angiotensin System and Sympathetic Neurotransmitter Release in the Central Nervous System of Hypertension

<table>Schematic demonstration of the possible relationship between the brain RAS and sympathetic neurotransmitter release in hypertension. RAS: renin-angiotensin system, ACE: angiotensin converting enzyme, ACEI: angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, ARB: angiotensin receptor blocker, DRI: direct renin inhibitor, GABA: <i>γ</i>-aminobutyric acid, (–): inhibition.</table>
