Glandular kallikrein content in tissues of diabetic and hypertensive rats measured by enzyme immunoassay.
The contents of glandular kallikrein in the submaxillary gland and pancreas of normal, diabetic and hypertensive rats were compared using a specific enzyme immunoassay. The kallikrein levels in the submaxillary gland and pancreas of the diabetic rats were significantly lower than those of normal rats. On the other hand, the submaxillary and pancreatic levels in hypertensive rats tended to be higher than in normal rats.
