Functional, biochemical, and molecular investigations of renal kallikrein-kinin system in diabetic rats.
A reduction of renal kallikrein has been found in non-insulin-treated diabetic individuals, suggesting that an impaired renal kallikrein-kinin system (KKS) contributes to the development of diabetic nephropathy. We analyzed relevant components of the renal KKS in non-insulin-treated streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Twelve weeks after a single injection of STZ, rats were normotensive ...
متن کاملThe renal kallikrein-kinin system.
THE KIDNEY contains several hormonal systems—kallikrein-kinin, renin-angiotensin, prostaglandin—which serve as renal self-regulatory mechanisms and may have extrarenal effects as well. Although the functions of the kallikrein-kinin system are incompletely defined, there is evidence that it may regulate renal blood flow, modulate tubular salt and water transport, and participate in the pathogene...
متن کاملThe kallikrein-kinin system in diabetic nephropathy
Diabetic nephropathy is the major cause of end-stage renal disease worldwide. Although the renin-angiotensin system has been implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy, angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitors have a beneficial effect on diabetic nephropathy independently of their effects on blood pressure and plasma angiotensin II levels. This suggests that the kallikrein-kinin s...
متن کاملAntihypertensive effect of MK-421 in rats. Role of the renal kallikrein-kinin system.
To study the hypotensive mechanism of the new oral converting-enzyme inhibitor, MK-421, we evaluated the antihypertensive effect of MK-421 in rats with hypertension induced by chronic administration of norepinephrine (NE) or vasopressin and measured urinary kallikrein and kinin excretions as indices of the renal kallikrein-kinin system. When 6 mg/kg/day of MK-421 was administered simultaneously...
