PG - 10-3 AB - We determined kininogen concentration and kininogenase activity in the blood-free, aorta homogenates of 15 week old spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and in their age-matched wistar kyoto (WKY) controls. Active kininogenase in the SHR was only 18% of the WKY controls. Thus, the kininogen concentration was inversely related to kininogenase activity suggesting a local interaction of these components and possible generation of kinins within the vascular wall.
