Hypothesis-generating for prostaglandin mediation of bradykinin coronary effects; leaves open translation to human ischemia or reflexes.
Does bradykinin induce coronary vasodilation via prostaglandin biosynthesis in isolated rabbit hearts?
Bradykinin-induced coronary vasodilation is mediated by endogenous prostaglandin biosynthesis, which may play a role in cardiovascular reflexes and pain during myocardial ischemia.
Needleman et al. (1975) studied this question.
