AGT and atherosclerosis: We focused on a strategy concomitantly known to modulate inflammation and vascular responses, such as activation of angiotensin 1–7 (Ang‐(1–7)) receptors, as this could provide a viable alternative for anti‐inflammatory interventions in atherosclerosis, as well as other vascular diseases, without concerns associated with significant systemic immunosuppression (Passos‐Silva et al.,2013; Magalhaes et al.,2015).
