Plasma kininogen content of toads, fowl and reptiles - Rabito, S.F.; Binia, A.; Segovia, R. (Elsevier)
1. The plasma of pigeon (Columba livia domestica) and turtle (Geochelone chilensis) contains kininogen in concentration of 3.2-4.7 and 3.0-6.0 μg/ml respectively.2. No kininogen was detected in toad (Bufo arenarum and B. paracnemis), chicken (Gallus domesticus) and turkey (Meleagris gallopavo).3. In all the species studied, their plasma shows strong bradykininolytic activity, which disappears on boiling.
