title: The role of bradykinin in endotoxic shock of intestinal origin.
abstract: A relationship was looked for between blood levels of bradykinin and endotoxaemia produced by superior mesenteric artery occlusion in the rabbit. The levels of bradykinin were unrelated to and unaltered by the degree of endotoxaemia observed in the systemic and portal circulations. These findings suggest that bradykinin is not responsible for the release of endotoxin from the gut, or the circulatory collapse which follows.
