  • Title: Kininase I, kininase II and aminopeptidase levels in patients with gastrointestinal tumors.
    Author: Amato A, Porcelli G, Volpe AR, Cotogni P, De Giovanni L, Civello IM, Butti A.
    Journal: Ital J Surg Sci; 1987; 17(2):141-6. PubMed ID: 3038783.
    Abstract:
    Some indices of the kallikrein kinin system, namely kininase I (KI), kininase II or angiotensin converting enzyme (KII-ACE) and phenylalanine-arginine aminopeptidase (AP) were analyzed, to detect their levels in ten selected normal subjects and in 20 selected patients with colonic (n = 8) and gastric adenocarcinoma (n = 12). While AP and KI levels did not show differences in the groups under analysis, KII values showed a significant difference (P +/- 0.01), present since the early stages of the diseases and unrelated to the normal laboratory indices.
