[Urinary kallikrein in cadmium-exposed workers]. 1978

P Boscolo, and G Cecchetti, and A Iannaccone, and G Porcelli, and E Salimei

The urinary kallikrein activity was determined in a group of 20 young workers exposed to cadmium and to lower concentrations of lead and other toxic agents. Two of them were suffering from labile hypertension. The urinary kallikrein activity of exposed workers was found to be reduced by more than 80% in comparison with a control group.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007610 Kallikreins Proteolytic enzymes from the serine endopeptidase family found in normal blood and urine. Specifically, Kallikreins are potent vasodilators and hypotensives and increase vascular permeability and affect smooth muscle. They act as infertility agents in men. Three forms are recognized, PLASMA KALLIKREIN (EC 3.4.21.34), TISSUE KALLIKREIN (EC 3.4.21.35), and PROSTATE-SPECIFIC ANTIGEN (EC 3.4.21.77).
