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 ...

The kallikrein–kinin system and oxidative stress [PDF]
The Kallikrein-kinin system (KKS) constitutes a complex multi-enzyme cascade that produces several bioactive kinin peptides and their derivatives including bradykinin. In addition to the classical notion of the KKS as a potent vasodilator and a mediator of inflammatory responses, recent studies suggest a link between the KKS and oxidative stress.
