The continued acquisition of information on the distribution of expression of components of the renin-angiotensin system shows that it has functions in the tissues that are quite unrelated to its systemic actions. In particular, both type 1 and type 2 angiotensin receptors are found in many tissues of the reproductive system of both sexes. In addition, the widespread occurrence of (pro)renin, angiotensin converting enzyme and angiotensinogen suggests that the generation of angiotensin II within the tissues occurs at sites close to its sites of action. The data suggest that angiotensin II operates as an important paracrine agent with profoundly significant roles in several functions of the reproductive system, and in fertility.
