[The ovarian renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system]. / Il sistema renina-angiotensina-aldosterone ovarico.

The ovarian renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (OVRAS), although not fully known, appears to play an important role in ovarian physiology (steroidogenesis, follicular stage, ovulation). The possibility of manipulating ovarian function by means of the pharmacological modulation of OVRAS opens new horizons for the control of human reproduction.
