abstract：:Evidence is presented that bradykinin inhibits norepinephrine efflux from sympathetic nerves innervating canine mesenteric and pulmonary arteries, in part, by releasing endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF) from the vascular endothelium. Moreover, in the absence of vascular endothelium, bradykinin also inhibits n...
