Abstract:
The experimental study was carried out to examine whether intraperitoneal injection of carrageenin or endotoxin activates plasma kallikrein-kinin system to induce plasma exudation in rats. Intraperitoneal injection of 2% lambda-carrageenin induced plasma exudation in the peritoneal cavity by activation of plasma prekallikrein. Intraperitoneal injection of endotoxin (3mg/kg) also resulted in intraperitoneal plasma exudation, but plasma kallikrein-kinin system did not seem to be involved.
