The effect of exhaustive exercise on the antioxidant enzyme system in skeletal muscle from calcium-deficient rats
The aim of the current study was to elucidate the synergism of dietary calcium restriction and exhaustive exercise in the antioxidant enzyme system of rat soleus muscle, and to investigate the involvement of ...

Oxidative stress induced by intermittent exposure at a simulated altitude of 4000 m decreases mitochondrial superoxide dismutase content in soleus muscle of rats
The effects were examined of 6-month intermittent hypobaric (4000 m) exposure on the antioxidant enzyme systems in soleus and tibialis muscles of rats. At the end of the 6-month experimental exposure, the six ...

Kaolin-induced writhing in mice, a new model of possible bradykinin-induced pain for assessment of analgesic agents
Kaolin induced a clear and reproducible writhing reaction when intraperitoneally injected into mice. A simultaneous injection (i.p.) of soybean trypsin inhibitor (SBTI) significantly suppressed the kaolininduc...

Roles of kallikrein-kinin system in acute inflammation: Studies on high- and low-molecular weight kininogens-deficient rats (B/N-Katholiek strain)
Carrageenin-induced paw edema in HMW- and LMW-kininogens-deficient rats was significantly less than that in normal rats. There are three kiniogens, HMW-, LMW- and T-kininogens, in normal rat plasma, but B/N-Ka...

Cleavage of des-Arg9-bradykinin by angiotensin I-converting enzyme from pig kidney cortex
Fast and very slow hydrolyses of des-Arg9-bradykinin and angiotensin II by angiotensin I-converting enzyme were detected by high performance liquid chromatography. The Michaelis constants of the enzyme, Km values...
