Entry term(s) cinina
Scope note: Término genérico utilizado para describir un grupo de polipéptidos con estructuras químicas y propiedades farmacológicas relacionadas que se hallan ampliamente distribuidas en la naturaleza. Estos péptidos son AUTACOIDES que actúan localmente para producir dolor, vasodilatación, aumento de la permeabilidad vascular y de la síntesis de prostaglandinas. Así, comprenden un subgrupo de grandes números de mediadores que contribuyen a la respuesta inflamatoria. (Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacologic Basis of Therapeutics, 8th ed, p588)

Scope note: 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)
