Histamine, 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 کاملGenomics meets histamine receptors: new subtypes, new receptors.
Whether the job is waking the brain after a peaceful sleep, initiating gastric secretion when dinner is served or orchestrating the elements of inflammation after a mosquito bite, histamine has been a known biological messenger for decades (Green, 1964; Eichler and Farah, 1966). At the end of the twentieth century, in the midst of the genomics and bioinformatics revolution, researchers in this ...
متن کاملIntracerebroventricular Injection of Histamine Induces State-Dependency through H1 Receptors
The aim of the present study was to investigate whether and by which mechanism; histamine can induce state-dependent retrieval of passive avoidance task. The pre-training or pre-test intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection of histamine (20µg/mouse) impaired retrieval, when it was tested 24 h later. In the animals, which retrieval was impaired due to histamine pre-training administration, pre...
متن کاملThe role of histamine receptors in restraint stress-induced immunosuppression in the rat brain
Restraint-induced stress (RS) increases histamine concentration in the brain. There is no previous report regarding the role of histamine receptors in immunomodulatory effect of RS. In the present study the role of brain histamine receptors on reduction of humoral and cellular immune function induced by RS was evaluated. For this purpose male Wistar rats (200-250 g) were immunized with sheep re...
