Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Locally produced peptide hormones kinins, such as bradykinin, are thought to oppose many of the prohypertensive actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. In the kidney, bradykinin, via stimulation of B2 receptors (B2R), favors natriuresis mostly due to the inhibition of tubular Na reabsorption. Recent experimental evidence identifies the epithelial Na channel (ENaC) as a key end...
