Effect of hydrocortisone on histidine decarboxylase activity in rat stomach.
Hydrocortisone-stimulated synthesis of histidine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.22) was studied in rat stomach. Single or daily administration of hydrocortisone increased the histidine decarboxylase activity but not the histamine content in the fundic glands of stomachs from fed and fasted rats with or without adrenalectomy, and also in those from adrenalectomized fasted rats with concomitant treatmen...
متن کاملHistidine decarboxylase. Purification from fetal rat liver, immunologic properties, and histochemical localization in brain and stomach.
Histidine decarboxylase from fetal rat liver was purified to near-homogeneity. The purified enzyme has a molecular weight of 210,000, and appears to contain two subunits with molecular weights of 145,000 and 66,000, respectively. The enzyme is inhibited by heavy metals such as Hg2+ and Zn2+ and sulfhydryl-reactive compounds such as 5,5'-dithiobis-2-nitrobenzoic acid. The enzyme is partially dep...
متن کاملGlucocorticoid hormones downregulate histidine decarboxylase mRNA and enzyme activity in rat lung.
Histidine decarboxylase (HDC) is the primary enzyme regulating histamine biosynthesis. Histamine contributes to the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory disorders such as asthma. Because glucocorticoids are effective in the treatment of asthma, we examined the effects of 6 h of exogenously administered dexamethasone (0.5-3,000 microg/kg ip), corticosterone (0.2-200 mg/kg ip), or endogenously el...
متن کاملSpectroscopic analysis of recombinant rat histidine decarboxylase.
Mammalian histidine decarboxylases have not been characterized well owing to their low amounts in tissues and instability. We describe here the first spectroscopic characterization of a mammalian histidine decarboxylase, i.e. a recombinant version of the rat enzyme purified from transformed Escherichia coli cultures, with similar kinetic constants to those reported for mammalian histidine decar...
متن کاملExpression of Melanocortin 4 Receptor mRNA in Male Rat Hypothalamus During Chronic Stress
The effects of chronic stress and glucocorticoids receptor antagonist (RU486) on expression of melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) mRNA in arcuate nucleus (ARC) of male rats were evaluated. In this study, adult male Sprague Dawley rats were placed into four groups (n=6/group) stress, RU486, stress/RU486, and control groups. In stress group, the rats were restrained, 1 h/day, for 12 days. In RU486 gr...
