Rat/mouse hemokinin-1 (r/m HK-1), human hemokinin-1 (h HK-1) and human hemokinin-1
(4-11)(h HK-1 (4-11)) are members of the tachykinin family. In the present study, the …

Rat/mouse hemokinin-1 is a mammalian tachykinin peptide whose biological functions have
not been well characterized. In the present study, an attempt has been made to investigate …

Human hemokinin-1 and its carboxy-terminal fragment human hemokinin-1 (4-11) have
been recently identified as the members of the tachykinin family. The peripheral …

Rat and mouse hemokinin-1 (r/m hemokinin-1) is a recently described member of the
tachykinin family whose cardiovascular functions are not fully understood. In this study, we …

ABSTRACT Captopril (10 mg/kg, ip) increased the arterial bradykinin (BK) level of non-
treated Sprague-Dawley rats, determined by a newly developed ELISA, from 10.8 i 3.2 pg/ml …

Recently, the cloning of a novel preprotachykinin gene (PPT-C) has been reported. This
gene codes for a novel peptide named hemokinin 1 (HK-1). In contrast with the known …

Recently, many investigators have studied the cardiovascular effects of the synthetic
vasoactive peptides, bradykinin (2–6, 12–15, 17, 20–22, 24, 27, 33, 40–44), eledoisin (3, 6 …

Kinins are polypeptides that contain the sequence of the nonapeptide, bradykinin, in their
structure. In mammals, the main kinins are bradykinin and lysine-bradykinin. They are …

The term" tachykinin," which literally means" fast acting," refers to a family of peptides that
contains the C-terminal sequence of-Phe-X-Gly-Leu-Met-NH2. The best known of these …

The mechanisms of action of tachykinin peptides thought to be involved in central
cardiovascular regulation were examined. Intracerebroventricular injections (icv) of …
