Abstract
Measurements of the rate of disappearance of angiotensin in the blood have previously given contradictory results, with half-lives varying from a few minutes to 37 hours. It is now clear that the blood itself plays little part in the inactivation of angiotensin and that the rapid removal of angiotensin from the bloodstream occurs in the tissues through which it is carried.
