Abstract
⺠Kinin B1 (inducible) and B2 (constitutive) receptors are located in vascular cells. ⺠Vascular reactivity and nitric oxide metabolism were studied in B1â/â and B2â/â mice. ⺠B1â/â and B2â/â present endothelial dysfunction and reduced NO levels. ⺠NO reduced availability is not related to vascular NO synthase deficiency. ⺠Kinin receptors may control oxidative processes involved in NO inactivation.
