ACE inhibitors Exam Questions and Answers ACE inhibitor MOA - Correct Answer ️️ -MOA Inhibit the conversion of angiotensin-I to angiotensin-II. Angiotensin-II is a potent vasoconstrictor and promotes the production of aldosterone. Aldosterone promotes sodium and water retention. By inhibiting the production of angiotensin-II, ACE-inhibitors cause vasodilation and indirectly inhibit fluid volume increases that result from the actions of aldosterone. ACE inhibitor uses - Correct Answer ...
