Abstract
DEFICIENCY of substrate for induced plasma kinin production in the stored plasmas collected from women at the time of delivery has been shown1. This substrate deficiency was not observed in normal plasma (that is, from non-parturient individuals) stored for long periods at −20° C., or in plasma collected at time of delivery from women undergoing Cæsarean section at term before the onset of labour.
