Evidences on the participation of the kininogen-kinin system in pregnancy and labour have been provided by the work of Armstrong and Stewart (1), Gomes (2), Werle (3), Martinez et al. (4), Erdos et al. (5), Periti and Gasparri (6), Centaro et al. (7), Meirelles (8) and many others, showing the formation of kinins during labour, a fall in bradykininogen (BKg), an increase of the destroyng enzyme (kininase), and of the esterolytic activity, in plasma from pregnant women.
