Abstract: The renin-angiotensin system, known for regulating blood pressure and cardiovascular homeostasis, is of significant importance. In addition to its effects on the circulatory system, it was discovered that it also has an influence on other processes in the body, called local action. Studies have confirmed that this system plays a role in female reproduction, and when we talk about its influence in this context, the main peptide highlighted is Angiotensin-(1-7). The main objective of the present work was to study the RAS that acts on the reproduction of females with a focus on the peptide Angiotensin-(1-7) which has a participatory action in ovarian endocrinology, through a bibliographical review. Angiotensin-(1-7) was identified in the ovary, formed by a pathway that does not depend on ACE. Knowledge of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in the uterus, especially in the endometrium, is initial and fragmented. The first mention in the literature was the report of renin in the rabbit uterus. Angiotensin-(1-7) may function as a controller of blood flow to the reproductive organs in pregnant animals, as increased expression of the angiotensin II converting enzyme and plasma and urinary levels of Ang-(1- 7). These findings suggest an interaction between Ang-(1-7) and ACE2 in the placenta, indicating a possible significant role in physiological regulation during pregnancy. Therefore, the review on angiotensin-(1-7) in the review on female reproduction highlights the complexity and multifunctionality of the RAS.
