Crucial role of histamine for regulation of gastric acid secretion ascertained by histidine decarboxylase-knockout mice.
Histidine decarboxylase (HDC) represents the sole enzyme that produces histamine in the body. The present work investigated the role of endogenous histamine in carbachol- and gastrin-induced gastric acid secretion with HDC-knockout (HDC-/-) mice. Acid secretion was measured in either mice subjected to acute fistula production under urethane anesthesia or conscious mice that had previously under...
متن کاملLack of histamine alters gastric mucosal morphology: comparison of histidine decarboxylase-deficient and mast cell-deficient mice.
Histamine plays an important role in the regulation of gastric acid secretion; however, its role in maintenance of gastric morphology remains unclear. To clarify the necessity of histamine for gastric mucosal development and maintenance, we evaluated two different kinds of mice that lacked either mast cells (one of the gastric histamine-producing cell types) or histidine decarboxylase (HDC; a h...
متن کاملImpaired gastric acid secretion in gastrin-deficient mice.
To further understand the role of the peptide hormone gastrin in the development and function of the stomach, we have generated gastrin-deficient mice by gene targeting in embryonic stem cells. Mutant mice were viable and fertile, without obvious visible abnormalities. However, gastric function was severely affected by the loss of gastrin. Basal gastric acid secretion was abolished and could no...
متن کاملThe effect of bromocriptine on basal and histamine-stimulated gastric acid secretion in anesthetized rats
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 ...
متن کاملA key regulatory role for histamine in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis: disease exacerbation in histidine decarboxylase-deficient mice.
Histamine can modulate the cytokine network and influence Th1 and Th2 balance and Ab-isotype switching. Thus, pharmacological blockade or genetic deletion of specific histamine receptors has been shown to reduce the severity of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a prototypic Th1-mediated disease with similarities to human multiple sclerosis. To study the comprehensive contribution...
