Glucose utilization

Bradykinin stimulates natriuresis and, through stimulation of prostaglandin synthesis, inhibits the actions of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), thereby inhibiting water retention. Bradykinin further improves insulin sensitivity and cellular glucose utilization of skeletal muscle cells in experimental models. This, however, appears not to be relevant in the clinical context.
