Decreased blood pressure

Angiotensin II is a hormone and its effect on the body is that of vasoconstriction. Vasoconstriction is when the blood vessels within the body constrict, increasing the blood pressure in the body. However, angiotensin is present in the body as angiotensin I, which is the precursor to angiotensin II and has to be converted in the body. If the enzymes necessary to do so are absent, angiotensin II will not be produced and the blood pressure of the body will not be elevated.
