Proteolytic systems of tissue and blood plasma take part in the processes of adaptation and protection of an organism, as well as in development of pathological reactions. We have studied the activity of kallikrein, kallikreinogen, angiotensine transforming enzyme, α1-protease inhibitor, and α2-macroglobulin in healthy children in different age periods, in newborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, in children with infectious-inflammatory diseases of the urinary system, obesity, and metabolic syndrome.The activity of the kallikrein-kinin system was increased in all the groups against the background of the decreased inhibitory activity of blood plasma of different intensity, which can be used for the prediction of the course of diseases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
