Q

Where are kinins synthesized?

A

extracelluar in blood or interstitial fluid

61
Q

How is kinase I degraded?

A

carboxypeptidase N or anaphylatoxin inactivator removes carboxy terminal arg–> des arg kinins

A

Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) OR

dipeptide hydrolase

63
Q

What kinins act on B-2 receptor and what does that do?

A

kallidin & braykinin more active

  1. Vasodilation → redness & heat
  2. VERY strong vasodilators → hypotension
  3. increased vascular permeability → swelling, edema
  4. cause pain
  5. Bronchoconstriciton
  6. Release catecholamines & PGs
64
Q

What kinins act on the B1 receptor? and what effect does that have?

A

des-arg kinins (lack terminal ARG) more active

  1. chronic inflammatory effects
  2. induced after trauma
  3. cytokine production & long term effects
