main effect of kinins on the cardiovascular system   edema due to arteriole vasodilation, venous constriction, and contraction of epithelial cells  
🗑
role of kinins in inflammation   edema and bronchospasm in asthmatics  
🗑
role of kinins in pain   B2 receptors mediate acute pain while B1 recetors mediate chronic inflammation  
🗑
effects of bradykinin on neonates   dilation of fetal pulmonary artery, closure of the ductus arteriosis, and constricture of umbilical arteries  
🗑
clinical uses of kinins   no approved uses yet, but ACE inhibitors block kinase II, which causes kinin elevation and subsequent hypotensive action  
🗑

🗑
postive feedback on angiotensin II production   beta 1 adrenergic receptors  
🗑
metabolism of angiotensin   rapidly removed from blood  
🗑
mechanism of angiotensin II action   AT1 is a G-protein coupled receptor-->activate PLC-->IP3 and DAG-->smooth muscle contraction. Also increases NE release and decreases NE reuptake. Stimulates release of NE and E from adrenals  
🗑
effect of angiotensin II on the cardiovascular system   very potent vasoconstrictor (via smooth muscle contraction, and some CNS and ANS). Its effects on NE potentiate sympathetic transmission  
🗑
effect of angiotensin II on the adrenal cortex, kidney, and CNS   stimulates aldosterone and glucocorticoid biosynthesis, renal vasoconstriction, renal sodium reabsorption, stimulation of drinking response, vasopressin release (ADH),  
🗑
clinical effect of renin inhibitors   suppress angiotensin II production-->lower blood pressure in HTN patients  
🗑
clinical effect of ACE inhibitors   block conversion of Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II, as well as inhibiting metabolism of bradykinin. Overall effect is to maintain vasodilation and decrease blood pressure
