Prevention of Inflammation, Neovascularization, and Retinal Dysfunction by Kinin B<sub>1</sub> Receptor Antagonism in a Mouse Model of Age-Related Macular Degeneration
The kallikrein-kinin system (KKS) contributes to vascular inflammation and neovascularization in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), particularly via the kinin B<sub>1</sub> receptor (B<sub>1</sub>R). The aim of the present study was to determine the protective effects of...
