Angiotensin II and angiotensin converting enzyme: key players in the pathogenesis of hypertensive retinopathy
These findings suggest that Ang II levels in serum (increasing) and tears (decreasing) correlate with HR severity, while ACE changes are significant only in serum. Further studies are warranted to elucidate the role of RAS in HR pathophysiology and to explore its potential as a therapeutic target in ocular disease.
