Highlights bradykinin potentiation in ACEI renal vasodilation in dogs; leaves open translation to human cardiorenal therapies.
Does enalaprilat increase renal cortical and medullary blood flow via bradykinin potentiation in sodium-depleted dogs after AT1 receptor blockade?
ACE inhibitor-induced renal vasodilation in sodium-depleted dogs is substantially mediated by bradykinin potentiation, with a greater effect on medullary compared to cortical blood flow.
Omoro et al. (2000) studied this question.
