Preferred Label : kinins;
MeSH definition : A generic term used to describe a group of polypeptides with related chemical structures
and pharmacological properties that are widely distributed in nature. These peptides
are AUTACOIDS that act locally to produce pain, vasodilatation, increased vascular
permeability, and the synthesis of prostaglandins. Thus, they comprise a subset of
the large number of mediators that contribute to the inflammatory response. (From
Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacologic Basis of Therapeutics, 8th ed, p588);
