This article seems to have been copy-pasted from a different wiki — if you look at the names of the brazilian doctors you'll notice the question marks behind their names indicating the 'undefined article'-syntax of certain wikis. I wish people would cite their sources, especially when quoting an article verbatim. --TorArne 11:54, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
- A lot of it is the work of Rsabbatini. If you wish to ask him, please do. I do happen to think he has written the same for other wikis. JFW | T@lk 16:15, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

- Ehrm, I think that won't be neccessary. Heck, his user page is a citation in itself! Good stuff. --TorArne 19:15, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
I changed the references to the newer reference system, but now it appears that the references are duplicated in the auto-generated list.. that's strange. Slarson 01:07, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm not sure how it should or could be worked into this article overall, but bradykinin has uses outside the classic physiological roles. It is inexpensive and commercially available, but more importantly it makes an excellent mass spectrometry standard due to its ionizing characteristics. Bradykinin has been used as a model peptide in many studies due to the reliability with which it can be seen and quantified on MS instrumentation. TheTweaker 19:24, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Behavioral problems
I would like to suggest that excess production of bradykinin and consequent vasodilation as a pathology, is a previouly undiscovered reason behind unexplained behavioral problems. In the article about the kinin-kallikrein system, it admits that "defects in this system are not yet recognized." Here is the exact quote "Defects of the kinin-kallikrein system in diseases are not generally recognized. The system is the subject of much research due to its relationship to the inflammation and blood pressure systems." I beleive that we need to start testing for bradykinin and kinins as part of a more integrated approach to health care and psychiatric care. Frequent and routine dysfunctin in bradykinin, facial flushing,and vasodilation can also cause neurological and behavioral problems that need to be recognized by the health communinity.Interestedperson (talk) 14:58, 27 March 2008 (UTC) Here is a very interesting article about bradykinin, rosacea, and neurological problems that support my theory. <http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/rosacea-support/message/47845>
[edit] Quercetin
On another note, does anyone know if Quercetin would lower bradykinin? I'm not sure if that's technically a polyphenol.Interestedperson (talk) 18:14, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
