Popis: Kallikrein and amylase activities are decreased in the pancreas and salivary glands from cri/cri homozygote mutant mice. Kallikrein is decreased in the cri/cri kidney too. With reference to nucleic acid concentrations there is no difference between control and mutant mice. The previously described electrolyte abnormalities of the cribriform degeneration (cri) mutant mouse, could be due to the abnormal activity of the kallikrein-kinin system on the transport mechanism of tubular cells in the organs mentioned. These findings represent a new step on our efforts to develop a useful animal model for human cystic fibrosis research.
