Rat isolated kidneys were perfused for 60 minutes with a modified Krebs-Henseleit bicarbonate solution. Perfusate and urine samples showed kininogenase activity (active kallikrein) which could be enhanced by activation ...

The activation of pre-kininogenin to kininogenin (pre-kallikrein to kallikrein) is one of the steps in the series of reactions of a complex system, linked also to fibrinolysis and coagulation, that leads to kinin release ...

The activation of pre-kininogenin to kininogenin (pre-kallikrein to kallikrein) is one of the steps in the series of reactions of a complex system, linked also to fibrinolysis and coagulation, that leads to kinin release ...

The clearance of exogenous plasma kallikrein, its uptake by liver, spleen, kidneys, lungs and its extravasation in the paws were determined in normal Wistar rats, normal and kininogen-deficient Brown Norway rats. Kallikrein ...

Uterine homogenates of cycling and early pregnant Sprague Dawley rats and purified rat urinary kallikrein showed similar curves of displacement of I-125-kallikrein binding to a polyclonal antibody. Uterine kallikrein ...

1. The liver is the main organ clearing both plasma and tissue kallikreins from the circulation. Hepatocytes are responsible for the internalization of rat plasma kallikrein (RPK) and the clearance of plasma kallikrein by ...

We have recently reported the presence of uterine glandular kallikrein in the rat, its mRNA, and its increase in early gestation. This study describes its immunolocalization, by polyclonal antibodies against rat urinary ...

Objectives To evaluate the temporal pattern of active and total urinary kallikrein excretion during the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and lactation, and to associate changes in kallikrein excretion with those of ovarian and ...
