The renal kallikrein-kinin system (RKKS) has been related to blood pressure control and
sodium and water balance. We have previously shown that female spontaneously …

The kallikrein-kinin system (KKS) appears to be involved in blood pressure regulation. We
showed that ovariectomy (oVx) stimulates urinary kallikrein activity (UKa). So, we test …

Aims: To test whether blood pressure is affected by potassium supplementation which
modifies urinary kallikrein (UK) in SHR of either sex, and to elucidate the mechanisms …

Objective We have reported that bradykinin (BK) excretion is increased in severely diabetic
rats, independent of the activity of the main renal kininforming enzyme, true kallikrein (KLK) …

Tissue kallikrein (TK) is synthesized in arteries and distal renal tubule, the main target of
aldosterone. Urinary kallikrein excretion increases in hyperaldosteronism. We tested the …

Urinary and renal rK1-kallikrein was studied in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and
their normotensive controls (WKY). It was demonstrated that the antiserum used for kallikrein …

In male spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) of the stroke prone strain (Okamoto) and
in normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) urinary kallikrein excretion was investigated at …

High potassium intake is known to attenuate hypertension, glomerular lesion, ischemic
damage, and stroke-associated death. Our recent studies showed that expression of …

We investigated kallikrein-binding protein (KBP) mRNA distribution in the kidney of Sprague-
Dawley (SD) rats, spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), and Wistar-Kyoto strain (WKY) …

Autocrine, paracrine, endocrine, and neuroendocrine hormonal systems help regulate
cardio‐vascular and renal function. Any change in the balance among these systems may …
