We studied the changes of glandular kallikrein activity in plasma of nine normal female volunteers, aged 22.2 +/- 1.20 years (mean +/- SEM), following 75 g glucose ingestion along with those of immunoreactive insulin, C-peptide immunoreactivity, free fatty acid and blood glucose using our recently developed assay system for plasma glandular kallikrein activity. Glandular kallikrein activities decreased initially from mean baseline level and then returned to baseline level with the lapse of time after glucose load. Furthermore, in hyperinsulinemic group, mean glandular kallikrein activities at 120 min after glucose load revealed to be significantly higher than those of normoinsulinemic group. The findings suggest that active glandular kallikrein is consumed and utilized during glucose uptake at the peripheral tissues, and hyperinsulinemia brings about prolonged activation of kallikrein-kinin system.
