Histamine H3 receptors and sleep-wake regulation.
The histaminergic system fulfills a major role in the maintenance of waking. Histaminergic neurons are located exclusively in the posterior hypothalamus from where they project to most areas of the central nervous system. The histamine H(3) receptors are autoreceptors damping histamine synthesis, the firing frequency of histamine neurons, and the release of histamine from axonal varicosities. I...
متن کاملHistamine, histamine receptors and antihistamines: new concepts.
Drugs with antihistamine action are the most commonly prescribed medication in daily dermatologic practice, both to adults and children. This article addresses new concepts of the role of histamine receptors (H1 receptors) and discusses the anti-inflammatory effects of these drugs. Second generation antihistamines differs from first generation because of their high specificity and affinity for ...

متن کاملHistamine metabolism.
Histamine is formed by decarboxylation of the amino acid L-histidine, a process catalyzed by histidine decarboxylase (HDC) and can be inactivated either by methylation of the imidazole ring, catalyzed by histamine N-methyltransferase (HMT) or by oxidative deamination of the primary amino group, catalyzed by diamine oxidase (DAO). This chapter describes the enzymatic reactions and the properties...
متن کاملHistamine suppresses gene expression and synthesis of tumor necrosis factor alpha via histamine H2 receptors
Histamine and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) can each contribute to the pathogenesis of allergic reactions and chronic inflammatory diseases. We now report the effect of histamine on gene expression and total cellular synthesis of TNF-alpha. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced synthesis of TNF-alpha in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from 18 healthy donors was suppressed by hist...
