    The juxtaglomerular apparatus in Bartter's syndrome and related tubulopathies

    A comparative immunocytochemical and electron microscopic study was performed on renal biopsies from two children with classical Bartter's syndrome (BS) and three children with a recently described variant, th...

    Hydrolysis of Peptide Bonds and Control of Blood Pressure

    Activation of proteases can affect the blood pressure in several ways. Activation of the renin, kallikrein, plasmin, and complement systems leads to the release of vasoactive peptide such as kinins, angiotensi...

    Kininases

    Since publication of the previous edition of this Handbook in 1970, much new information has been gathered about kininases, the enzymes that inactivate kinins. This chapter provides a survey and update of rese...

    Identity of Kininase II with an Angiotensin I Converting Enzyme

    Blood and tissues contain various enzymes that hydrolyze bradykinin. Among the ones we characterized were a prolidase (imidopeptidase), a carboxypeptidase-type enzyme (carboxypeptidase N; kininase I) and a dip...

    Active Water-insoluble Derivative of Renin

    ALTHOUGH the action of renin on the blood pressure has been explored by many investigators, some of its basic enzymatic properties are yet to be established1. While studying plasma kinins, we found it to be of ad...

    Application of Water-Insoluble Complexes of Kininogenases, Inhibitors and Kininases to Kinin Research

    Although a variety of methods have been available for coupling proteins with water-insoluble carriers, the impetus to our experiments was given by a publication of Levin et al. (1). They coupled trypsin to the co...
