To clarify the role of the kallikrein-kinin system in cardiovascular homeostasis, the systemic and regional hemodynamics of kinin B2 receptor-deficient (B2-/-) and tissue kallikrein-deficient (TK-/-) mice were compared with their wild-type (WT) littermates on a pure C57BL/6 genetic background. B2-/-, TK-/-, and WT adult mice were normotensive and displayed normal hemodynamic (left ventricular [LV] pressure,...
