dc.description.abstractThe effects on the pituitary-adrenocortical functions of the prolonged (7-day) blockade of endogenous bradykinin (BK) synthesis, obtained by the administration of the kallikrein inhibitor (K-I) cyclohexylacetyl-Phe-Arg-Ser-Val-Gln amide, were investigated in the rat. K-I treatment did not cause significant changes in the (i) body and adrenal weights; (ii) basal plasma levels of ACTH, aldosterone and corticosterone; and (iii) average volume of adrenocortical cells and their basal secretory capacity. Conversely, K-I administration induced a significant magnification of the in vivo mineralo- and glucocorticoid responses to the intraperitoneal (i.p.) bolus injection of ACTH. Moreover, K-I-treated rats, but not control ones, displayed a moderate and short-term adrenal secretory response to the mild stress evoked by the placebo i.p. injection. Collectively, these findings rule out the possibility that endogenous BK plays a relevant role in the control of adrenocortical function under basal conditions. However, they suggest that endogenous BK may be involved in quenching exceedingly high adrenocortical responses to ACTH and stresses.es
