Sodium-dependent accumulation of 5-hydroxytryptamine by rat blood platelets.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Kinins are pro-inflammatory peptides that are released during tissue injury, including that caused by inflammatory bowel disease. Herein, we assessed the role and underlying mechanisms through which the absence of kinin B(1) receptors exacerbates the development of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-i...
