Key result
Angiotensin II exerts a dose-dependent dual action on intestinal absorption, stimulating sodium and water absorption at low doses and inhibiting it at high doses.

Does angiotensin II control intestinal absorption of sodium and water?
Angiotensin II plays a complex, dose-dependent role in regulating intestinal sodium and water absorption, highlighting the systemic reach of the renin-angiotensin system beyond cardiovascular control.
Nigel Levens (1985) conducted a review in Intestinal absorption. Angiotensin II was evaluated. Angiotensin II exerts a dose-dependent dual action on intestinal absorption, stimulating sodium and water absorption at low doses and inhibiting it at high doses.
