The sensitization of human lung with atopic serum is both time and temperature dependent. Highly purified IgE myeloma protein is capable of blocking sensitization of human lung with atopic serum whereas myeloma proteins of the IgG subgroups are inactive. Drugs capable of increasing cellular levels of CAMP such as beta-adrenergic agents and methylxanthines inhibit the antigen-induced release of ...

objective: the nucleus accumbens (nac) receive histaminergic neurons from tuberomammillary nuclei. there are reports indicating that central histamine systems are involved in many physiological behavioral processes, including anxiety. the aim of the present study was to assess whether the histaminergic system of the nac is involved in anxiety-related behaviors. methods:   rats   were   anesthet...

  Objective(s): The present study investigated the effects of microinjection of histamine and histamine H1, H2, and H3 receptor antagonists, chlorpheniramine, ranitidine and thioperamide, respectively into the primary somatosensory cortex (PSC) on inflammatory pain.   Material and Methods: Two stainless steel guide canulas were bilaterally implanted into the PSC of anaesthetized rats. Inf...

Background: Mahyaveh is an Iranian salted-fermented fish sauce which due to its high amount of protein has risk of histamine production. This study was carried out to determine effect of Zataria multiflora Essential Oil (EO) on histamine production in mahyaveh. Methods: Dried anchovies (Stolephorus sp.), refined-salt and mustard seed (Brassica juncea) were purchased from the local market in ...

Abstract Biogenic amines are basic nitrogen compounds, which formed due to the decarboxylation of amino acids or/and amination and transformation aldehydes ketones. Histamine is a heterocyclic biogenic amine present in wide range food products, including fish fishery meat their other dairy products beverages. The review summarizes innovative sample preparation methods for extraction histamine f...

objective: pharmacological effects of carvacrol such as its anti-inflammatory activities have been shows. in this study the effects of carvacrol on serum levels of total protein (tp), phospholipase a2 (pla2) and histamine in sensitized guinea pigs was evaluated. materials and methods: sensitized guinea pigs were given drinking water alone (group s), drinking water containing three concentration...

Restraint-induced stress (RS) increases histamine concentration in the brain. There is no previous report regarding the role of histamine receptors in immunomodulatory effect of RS. In the present study the role of brain histamine receptors on reduction of humoral and cellular immune function induced by RS was evaluated. For this purpose male Wistar rats (200-250 g) were immunized with sheep re...

The receptor binding profile, composed of the Ki-values measured in eight different receptor binding models using rat brain membranes, is reported for the new tricyclic antidepressant quinupramine, 10,11-dihydro-5-(3-quinuclidinyl)-5H-dibenz[b, f]azepine, and three reference compounds with a tertiaryamine side chain. Quinupramine was found to possess high affinity for muscarinic cholinergic and...

Diphenhydramine is an H1 histamine receptor antagonist, yet it also has a clinically useful local anesthetic effect. We found that diphenhydramine inhibits the neuronal Na(+) current, and the inhibition is stronger with more positive holding potentials. The dissociation constant between diphenhydramine and the inactivated Na(+) channel is approximately 10 microM, whereas the dissociation consta...
