Hypotensive effect of human factor XII active fragment in conscious normotensive rats: role of bradykinin.
1984
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 bradykinin-processing enzyme kininase II. These results therefore suggest that factor XIIf-mediated hypotension is due to the formation of bradykinin.
