Interrelationship of Histamine Release and Vasoactive Peptides.
Abstract
Peptides release histamine from mast cells. Histamine releasers or histamine decrease the flow in perfused lung and cause edema. Perfusion fluids contain kininase II (angiotensin I converting enzyme). Edema contains kininase I and II. Inhibition of kininase II (converting enzyme) of lung blocks compensatory rise in blood pressure in shocked dog by blocking angiotensin I liberation. (Author)
