title: Effects of kinins on the isolated perfused rat kidney and evidence for the presence of renal B1 receptors.
abstract: The kinins, particularly lysyl-bradykinin (LBK), have a bimodal effect on the vasculature of isolated rat kidney. The vasorelaxant but not the vasoconstrictor effect of LBK seems to be mediated by prostaglandins. The vasoconstrictor action of LBK can be blocked by (L-Leu)8-des-Arg9-BK indicating that the rat kidney vasculature has B1 kinin-receptor which mediates the effects of kinins and/or their C-terminal metabolites.
