remek, from my understanding, angiotensin is a type of peptide vasoconstrictor that elevates blood pressure. It's not really the presence of angiotensin that causes new tissue growth but a biochemical reaction from the elevated blood pressure. Meaning that angiogenesis can occur from elevated blood pressure/volume from any catalyst including angiotensin. The reason for my citing it, is it's prevailing use in angiogenesis studies. It's the increased blood volume and or pressure promotes remodeling of the vascular system.
