The aim of this study was to assess the effects of exogenous histamine and H1 and H2 central receptorson electrocardiographic (ECG) parameters, heart rate and mean electrical axis in broiler chickens. For thispurpose, Ross broiler chickens (750-800 g weight) received intracerebroventricularly (ICV) histamine.Moreover, to determine the receptors involved in histamine-induced alterations in ECG c...

Histamine receptors are present on the surface of various normal and tumor-derived cell types, where their biological function is incompletely understood. Here we report that histamine not only stimulates cell proliferation under serum-free conditions, but also is chemotactic for human carcinoma (Hela and A431) and melanoma (A875) cells expressing H1 type receptors. Histamine was found to be a ...

Many physiological functions of the stomach depend on an intact mucosal integrity; function reflects structure and vice versa. Histamine in the stomach is synthesized by histidine decarboxylase (HDC), stored in enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells, and released in response to gastrin, acting on CCK(2) receptors on the ECL cells. Mobilized ECL cell histamine stimulates histamine H(2) receptors on t...

  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...

The present study explored the interaction between histaminergic and opioidergic systems at the level of the hippocampus in modulation of orofacial pain by intra-hippocampal microinjections of histamine, pyrilamine (an antagonist of histamine H(1) receptors), ranitidine (an antagonist of histamine H(2) receptors), morphine (an opioid receptor agonist) and naloxone (an opioid receptor antagonist...

Effects of histamine per se along with its specific agonists and antagonists were studied on the skin melanophores of Hemidactylus flaviviridis to study the role of histamine receptors in pigmentation. Histamine and 2-methyl histamine induced powerful melanin aggregation effects, leading to paling of the skin through stimulation of H1 receptors. On the other hand, 4-methyl histamine, a specific...
