Presence and Physiologic Function of the Renin–Angiotensin System in Mouse Lacrimal Gland

Abstract

The results are consistent with the hypothesis that a tissue-specific RAS is present in the lacrimal gland, and suggest that fibroblasts are one of the cell types playing a role in the tissue RAS. Tissue RAS might be involved in tissue function of regulating tear secretion in the lacrimal gland.
