title: Histamine and kallikrein system in man.
abstract: Histamine infusion modifies the kallikrein system, studied by kaolin contact method, in man. The main modifications are the increase of the spontaneous esterase activity and the prekallikrein lowering. Apparently the histamine administration activates the kallikrein, and consequently a release of kinin can take place.
