Summary
Additional studies are warranted to characterize angiotensin II-related receptors, if any, and to clarify the role played by angiotensin II receptor subtypes and metabolites in various metabolic aspects of white adipose tissue.
Purpose of review Angiotensinogen and components of the renin-angiotensin system are expressed in adipose tissue of rodents and humans, but the role of generated angiotensin II has remained intriguing. Moreover, the functional importance of angiotensin II receptor subtypes in preadipocytes and adipocytes still remains a controversial subject.
