The platelet-activating factor (PAF) has been shown to stimulate the release of prostaglandins, leukotrienes and 5HT from a number of cell types. In this work we studied the effects of bolus injections of PAF on the isolated perfused rat kidney. Results showed histological damage at the proximal-tubule level and a significant histamine release.
