Interrelation among exercise training, cardiac hypertrophy, and tissue kallikrein-kinin system in athlete and non-athlete women [PDF]
Introduction: The tissue kallikrein-kinin system is an endogenous homeostatic pathway, which its stimulation is associated with cardioprotection. The present study aimed to determine the effect of exercise training on plasma tissue kallikrein (TK) and ...

Recent advances in the discovery and development of drugs targeting the kallikrein-kinin system [PDF]
Background The kallikrein-kinin system is a key regulatory cascade involved in blood pressure maintenance, hemostasis, inflammation and renal function. Currently, approved drugs remain limited to the rare disease hereditary angioedema.

Impaired Kallikrein-Kinin System in COVID-19 Patients' Severity [PDF]
COVID-19 has emerged as a devastating disease in the last 2 years. Many authors appointed to the importance of kallikrein-kinin system (KKS) in COVID-19 pathophysiology as it is involved in inflammation, vascular homeostasis, and coagulation.

Modulation of the Plasma Kallikrein-Kinin System Proteins Performed by Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans [PDF]
Human plasma kallikrein-kinin system proteins are related to inflammation through bradykinin. In the proximity of its target cells, high molecular weight kininogen (H-kininogen) is the substrate of plasma kallikrein, which releases bradykinin from H ...

Role of the kallikrein–kinin system in traumatic brain injury [PDF]
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Despite improvements in acute intensive care, there are currently no specific therapies to ameliorate the effects of TBI. Successful therapeutic strategies for TBI should

Ex vivo bradykinin as a functional biomarker for angioedema with normal C1-inhibitor [PDF]
Background: Bradykinin-mediated angioedema (AE-BK) remains diagnostically challenging particularly in patients with normal C1-inhibitor, where diagnosis primarily relies on clinical criteria. Routine laboratory tests can identify complement deficiency in

In the last decade, our knowledge of the renal kallikrein-kinin system has been advanced significantly. More specific and sensitive methods for assessing its activity have been developed. Further, it has been found that in the kidney this system is localized in the distal nephron, where it appears to be linked to processes that control water and ...
