Inflammation, kinins, and kinin receptors
… to an exacerbation in many disease areas. Bradykinin (BK) belongs to the group of vasoactive peptides, so-called kinins, which are potent inflammatory mediators. BK, once released from the human contact system, elicits a transient inflammatory response via activation of the constitutively …

Role of kinins in mediating vascular function in healthy pregnancy and pre-eclampsia
… to the development of the maternal syndrome. Kinins are endogenous peptides released by the endothelium that contribute to the regulation of cardiovascular homeostasis by inducing vasodilation, fibrinolysis and angiogenesis. Given that pre-eclampsia is associated with reduced …

Bioactive peptides from the defensive skin secretions of selected American and Asian frogs
… work on these bioactive substances such as bradykinin-related peptides and antimicrobial peptides, indicates that they have some clear clinical therapeutic implications including uses as anti-inflammatories, anti-bacterials and even anticancer agents. This project mainly focused on the isolation …

Kinin System Activation in Vasculitis
The kinin system is activated when high-molecular-weight kininogen (HK) is cleaved by plasma kallikrein thus generating bradykinin. Bradykinin is a potent proinflammatory peptide that induces plasma leakage, blood pressure drop, liberation of inflammatory cytokines and pain. Vasculitis is an …
