title: The clearance rate of plasma kallikrein by the liver increases during the acute-phase response to inflammation.
abstract: The effect of the acute-phase response on the clearance rate of plasma kallikrein by the exsanguinated liver was studied in three groups of rats: a control group and two other groups that received either turpentine or an endogenous pyrogen preparation. The plasma kallikrein clearance rates were significantly higher in both inflamed groups.
