Angiotensin II, a neuropeptide at the frontier between endocrinology and neuroscience: Is there a link between the angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R) and Alzheimer’s disease?

Amyloid-β peptide deposition, abnormal hyperphosphorylation of tau, as well as inflammation and vascular damage, are associated with the development of Alzheimer’s disease. Angiotensin II (Ang II) is a peripheral hormone, as well as a neuropeptide, which binds two major receptors, namely the Ang II...
