A review. Modern concepts of the physiological role of basic active component of renin-angiotensin system angiotensin II and its 3-8 fragment angiotensin IV are stated. The basic ways of formation and further degradation of angiotensin II and IV in a body are described. General characteristic of physiological activity and possible mechanisms of action of angiotensin II and IV are presented. Specifically, the role of angiotensin II and IV in regulation of defensive and drinking behaviors of animals is considered.
