Bradykinin reduces wound healing in human umbilical vein endothelial cells via downregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor A [PDF]
Journal of InflammationIntroduction Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is characterized by acute swelling attacks triggered by abnormally elevated levels of bradykinin. Despite persistently high bradykinin levels, patients experience only intermittent swelling episodes.

Bradykinin-induced angioedema in the emergency department
International Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2022 Background Acute airway angioedema commonly occurs through two distinct mechanisms: histamine- and bradykinin-dependent. Although they respond to distinct treatments, these two potentially life-threatening states present similarly.

Kinin-B2 receptor mediated neuroprotection after NMDA excitotoxicity is reversed in the presence of kinin-B1 receptor agonists. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Kinins, with bradykinin and des-Arg(9)-bradykinin being the most important ones, are pro-inflammatory peptides released after tissue injury including stroke.

Sensitive mass spectrometric determination of kinin-kallikrein system peptides in light of COVID-19
Scientific Reports, 2021 The outbreak of COVID-19 has raised interest in the kinin–kallikrein system. Viral blockade of the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 impedes degradation of the active kinin des-Arg(9)-bradykinin, which thus increasingly activates bradykinin receptors known

Relationship between membrane phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate and receptor-mediated inhibition of native neuronal M channels [PDF]
, 2005 The relationship between receptor-induced membrane phosphatidylinositol-4'5'-bisphosphate (PIP2) hydrolysis and M-current inhibition was assessed in single-dissociated rat sympathetic neurons by simultaneous or parallel recording of membrane current and ...
