abstract：:Topical application of sodium arachidonate (50-200 micrograms/ml) or bradykinin (0.1-10 micrograms/ml) on the brain surface of anesthetized cats caused dose-dependent cerebral arteriolar dilation. This dilation was blocked by 67-100% in the presence of superoxide dismutase and catalase. These enzymes did not affect th...
