Help please

Hi guys,

Could someone point me in the right direction. I've got to cover the following:
how Angiotensin – converting enzymes work plus a diagram
What types of Angiotensin – converting enzymes there are
Why they are used
How they affect you
Risk that are associated with these
Special precautions that need to be taken into consideration

Could someone recommend books that would have this information in? I also need a diagram but the ones I've seen seem to be quite complex.
I don't have a clue about this subject so any help will be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Hi smmiah1,

Thank you, that would be great

Do you want me to pm you my e-mail address?

Does anyone have or know where I can get a diagram on the renin-angiotensin system? I'm after one that's quite simple and easy to understand.

Thanks

Google Image Result for http://www.vetgo.com/cardio/concepts/images/page22.gif

Diagram is towards the bottom of the page, don't know how simple that is.

Thank you Nik, the only thing is the wesbite is regarding cats/dogs. Does it still work in the same way for us?

I know the name of the site is a bit misleading but was one of the simplest diagrams I could find. However it does work the same.
