As initial experimentation on the potentiation of the bradykinin action was primarily performed on isolated smooth muscle organs, in the last decade the potentiating activity was mainly investigated on the affinity and density of the receptor [54] , the intracellular mobilization of Ca 2+ [49, 54] , the release of arachidonic acid [49, 54] , of inositol phosphates [54] , and of nitric oxide [37] .
