Role of Bradykinin in Protection of Ischemic Preconditioning in Rabbit Hearts (Goto et al., 1995):
This study investigates the role of bradykinin in ischemic preconditioning, which is a protective mechanism of the heart against ischemic injury. It demonstrates that bradykinin, acting through specific receptors, contributes to the protective effects during ischemic episodes in rabbit hearts.
