缓激肽通过其B-2受体刺激内皮释放许多血管扩张剂,如一氧化氮、前列环素和内皮源性超极化因子(EDHF)。血管紧张素转换酶(ACE)抑制剂通过减少其降解和增加B-2受体敏感性来增强局部缓激肽的作用。临床和实验研究表明,阻断B-2受体可减弱ACE抑制剂的抗高血压、抗肥大和抗动脉粥样硬化作用。因此,证据强烈支持缓激肽在介导ACE抑制剂的心血管益处中的作用。(C)2003年欧洲心脏病学会。
Bradykinin, through its B-2 receptor, stimulates endothelial release of a number of vasodilators, such as nitric oxide, prostacyclin, and endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF). Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors enhance the effects of local bradykinin by decreasing its degradation and by increasing B-2 receptor sensitivity. Clinical and experimental studies demonstrate that blockade of the B-2 receptor attenuates the antihypertensive, antihypertrophic, and antiatherosclerotic effects of ACE inhibitors. Thus, the evidence strongly supports a role for bradykinin in mediating the cardiovascular benefits of ACE inhibitors. (C) 2003 The European Society of Cardiology.
