title: [Role of bradykinin in hypotension induced by the active factor derived from factor XII].
abstract: The active fragment derived from factor XII (factor XIIf) was purified from human plasma and administered intravenously to normotensive conscious rats. Factor XIIf-mediated hypotension was dose-dependent and augmented by pretreatment with captopril, an inhibitor of the angiotensin I- and bradykinin-processing enzyme. In contrast, factor XIIf-induced hypotension was not enhanced by blockade of the renin-angiotensin system by saralasin, a competitive antagonist of angiotensin II at the vascular receptor level. These results suggest that factor XIIf-mediated hypotension is due to the formation of bradykinin.
