...Paolo Madeddu; Nicola Glorioso; Aldo Soro; Paolo Manunta; Chiara Troffa; Giancarlo Tonolo; Maria Grazia Melis; Antonio Pazzola 1. To evaluate whether sodium intake can modulate the action of endogenous kinins on renal function and haemodynamics, a receptor antagonist of bradykinin was infused...

.... Frusemide enhanced the excretion of kinins, which correlated with the urine volume and the natriuresis, but not with kallikrein excretion. 3. In contrast to the initially increased excretion of kallikrein, kallikrein activity in the renal cortex remained unchanged or was even reduced. Kininogen content...

...J. C. McGiff 1. Prostaglandins together with the kallikrein-kinin system comprise a major vasodepressor system. 2. Prostaglandins can antagonize the actions of pressor hormones and the adrenergic nervous system. They also contribute to the blood pressure-lowering effects of kinins by enhancing...

...M. Malofiejew 1. The plasma of non-pregnant women contains practically no kinins and only traces of kallikrein. Treatment of the plasma with kaolin produces additional amounts of kallikrein from prekallikrein and of kinin from kininogen. 2. During the second stage of labour, plasma kallikrein...
