The Role of Bradykinin System in Type 2 Diabetes
نویسنده
چکیده
The kinins are pharmacologically active polypeptides, which are released in the tissues and body fluids as a result if the enzymatic action of kallikreins on kininogens. The kinin family includes BK (Arg-ProPro-gly-Phe-Ser-Pro-Phe-Arg), kallidin (Lys-Arg-Pro-Pro-Gly-PheSer-Pro-Phe-Arg) and methionyl-lysyl-BK (Met-Lys-Arg-Pro-ProGly-Phe-Arg). Kallidin and methionyl-lysyl-BK are converted into BK by aminopeptidases present in plasma and urine [1]. Kinins are rapidly (<15 sec) inactivated by circulating kininases [2].

Background and purpose: Chronic kidney disease is among the common diseases in the world. Studies show that women are more protected against renal diseases compared to men. On the other hand, vasodilatory axises of renin angiotensin system (angiotensin 1-7 (Ang 1-7)- Mas receptor (MasR)), kallikrein-kinin, and nitric oxide (NO) play key roles in kidney function and circulation in females. There...

متن کاملThe Role of Mas Receptor and Bradykinin on Nitric Oxide Production Response to Angiotensin 1-7 in Ovariectomized Rats Treated with Estradiol
Introduction: The angiotensin 1-7 (Ang1-7) Mas receptor (MasR) axis, bradykinin (BK) and female sex hormone are involved in releasing of vasodilatory biomarkers including Nitric Oxide (NO). We examined the role of MasR and BK on NO metabolite (nitrite) production response to Ang 1-7 infusion in ovariectomized rats treated with estradiol. Methods: A total of 48 female Wistar rats were divided i...
متن کاملNEP, ACE and Homologues: The Pathophysiology of Membrane Metalloproteases
The zinc metalloprotease, neprilysin (NEP), plays a role in the metabolism of cardiovascular, inflammatory and neuropeptides, including mitogenic peptides such as bombesin. In the cardiovascular system, NEP has a primary role in the inactivation of natriuretic peptides but also contributes to local metabolism of angiotensin, endothelins and bradykinin. Hence NEP is seen as a potential therapeut...
