Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bradykinin is a peptide that is involved in increasing vascular permeability by causing dilation of blood vessels and increasing the leakage of fluid and proteins from the blood into the tissues. This leads to swelling and inflammation in the affected area. Bradykinin is not involved in vasoconstriction, stimulating the clotting system, or increasing degradation of prostaglandins.
