| Abstract | Bradykinin, 1-100 μg/ml, produced a rapid rise in the concentration of 3′:5′-guanosine monophosphate (cyclic GMP) and 3′:5′-adenosine monophosphate (cyclic AMP) in slices of guinea pig lung. Concentrations of both nucleotides reached a maximum in about 2 min, then declined to a basal levels in 6-12 min. The transient nature of the effect was presumbaly due to the rapid destruction of bradykinin as evidenced by (1) reaccumulation of nucleotides when bradykinin was added a second time, and (2) potentiation of the bradykinin effects by pyroGlu-Lys-Trp-Ala-Pro, a peptide that inhibits inactivation of bradykinin by kininase. It has been reported elsewhere that histamine, prostaglandins E1 and E2, and β-adrenergic stimulation can cause accumulation of cyclic AMP in lung slices without affecting cyclic GMP concentration, whereas acetylcholine increases the concentrations of both cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP. Thus it was possible that the effects of bradykinin were indirect, i.e., secondary to release of one or more of these compounds. Promethazine (an antihistamine), propranolol (a β-adrenergic blocking agent) and atropine (an anticholinergic agent) did not alter basal cyclic nucleotide concentrations or the effects of bradykinin. Two inhibitors of prostaglandin synthesis, indomethacin and aspirin, which alone were without effect, in the presence of bradykinin completely prevented the rise in cyclic AMP but did not interfere with cyclic GMP accumulation. Similarly, the effect of acetylcholine on cyclic AMP was abolished by indomethacin while that on cyclic GMP was unaltered. We suggest that in lung and probably in other tissues, bradykinin, acetylcholine, and perhaps other stimuli enhance the synthesis and release of prostaglandins as one of the consequences of their effects on cyclic GMP metabolism. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
