teucrium polium is used for treatment of visceral pain in iranian folkloric medicine. in this studyantinociceptive mechanisms of t. polium hydroethanolic extract were examined by acetic acid-inducedwrithing test as a model of visceral pain in male nmri mice. to reveal the antinociceptive mechanisms ofthe extract, we examined the effects of opioidergic, serotonergic, adrenergic and histaminergic...

The role of endogenous histamine and H1, H2 and H3 central receptors on food intake in broiler chickenswas investigated. For this purpose, a probe was used to manipulate the concentration of endogenoushistamine by intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of thioperamide, an H3 receptor antagonist, and R-α-methylhistamine, an H3 receptor agonist and subsequently the effects of brain histaminergic...

background: high levels of histamine and dopamine are found in the hippocampus. furthermore, interaction between histamine and dopaminergic d2 receptors has been demonstrated in the modulation of some behaviors. in the present study, interaction between histamine and dopaminergic d2 receptor in the dorsal hippocampus in the anxiety behavior has been investigated. methods: in this experimental s...

Introduction: The protective and antisecretory effects of dopamine agonists on the stomach have been already reported, but the effect of bromocriptine (D2 dopamine agonist) on histamine stimulated gastric acid secretion (GAS) needs to be investigated. Methods: For gastric sampling, animals were anesthetized and a polyethylen tube was introduced into the stomach through esophagus. A cannula ...

in the present study, the effects of intracerebroventricular (icv) administration of normal saline (control), histamine, mepyramine (a histamine h1-receptor antagonist) and ranitidine (a histamine h2-receptor antagonist) were investigated on the formalin-induced pain in rabbits. subcutaneous (sc) injection of a formalin (100 μl, 5%) solution into the ventral surface of the right hind paw was pe...

the present study investigated the effects of intra-dentate gyrus microinjection of naloxone (an opioid antagonist) and thioperamide (an antagonist of histamine h3 receptors) in the formalin test in rats. subcutaneous injection of formalin (50 μl, 2.5 %) in the ventral surface of right hind paw produced a biphasic pattern (first phase: 0-5 min and second phase: 15 - 60 min) of licking/biting an...

in a previous study, the relaxant and anticholinergic (functional antagonism) effects of bunium persicum (b. persicum ) have been demonstrated on guinea pig tracheal chains. to elucidate the other mechanisms responsible for this relaxant effect, the inhibitory effect of this plant on histamine h1 receptors was examined in this study. the antihistaminic effects of aqueous and macerated extracts,...
