چکیده

1 Histamine produced dose-dependent contractile responses on both isolated perfused ear arteries and aortic strips of the rabbit. These responses were blocked by mepyramine and potentiated by both metiamide and dithiothreitol. 2 In the presence of maximum potentiation by metiamide, dithiothreitol still potentiated the contractile response to histamine of both preparations. 3 In the presence of mepyramine, histamine produced dose-dependent reductions in the contractile response to noradrenaline. This vasodilator action of histamine was abolished by metiamide but was unaffected by dithiothreitol. 4 The vasodilator action of histamine on the human isolated perfused temporal artery and the positive inotropic effect of histamine on the isolated spontaneously beating atria of the rabbit were blocked by metiamide but unaffected by dithiothreitol. 5 It is concluded that the rabbit aorta, like the ear artery, contains both H1 and H2 histamine receptors and that dithiothreitol potentiates cardiovascular responses mediated by H1-receptors but not by H2-receptors.

Pharmacologic receptor activity of rabbit aorta. Effect of dithiothreitol and N-ethylmaleimide.

IV-ethylmaleimide (NEM), an alkylating agent that covalently binds sulfhydryl groups, and dithiothreitol (DTT, Cleland's reagent), which reduces disulfide bridges to sulfhydryl groups, affected drug-induced contractions of rabbit aorta. NEM depressed aortic responses to potassium chloride (KC1), norepinephrine, serotonin, histamine, and angiotensin II. This action was attributed to an interacti...

ENDOGENOUS RELEASE OF OPIATES BY REPETITIVE ELECTRICAL FIELD STIMULATION IN THE GUINEA-PIG AND RAT ILEAL LONGITUDINAL MUSCLE

The effect of repetitive electrical field stimulation and the response of the guinea-pig and rat ileal longitudinal muscle to single pulse stimulations was examined. Single pulse field stimulation produced twitch contraction which was inhibited by repetitive field stimulation (10 Hz, 40V, 0.5 msec for 5 m). This inhibition was largely, though never completely, reversed by naloxone. Contrac...

The effect of intragastric D-glucose on hyperacidity induced by histamine and carbachol in male rat

It has been shown that enhanced acid secretion can be suppressed in the rat by systemic administration of glucose. We have recently reported that enhancement of acid secretion as a result of pentagastrin was diminished by intragastric administration of D-glucose. Present study was designed to investigate whether intragastric D-glucose influences gastric acid secretion associated with carbachol ...

INCREASED HISTAMINE Hi RECEPTOR BLOCKADE BY CHLORPHENIRAMINE IN TRACHEAL CHAINS OF ASTHMATIC GUINEA PIGS

Receptor affinity and drug delivery to the receptor sites could be determinant factors for the increased bronchial responsiveness seen in asthma. Competitive antagonism blockade which is measured as dose ratio-l (DR-I) depends only on these two factors. Therefore, in this study we have examined histamine HI blockade by chlorpheniramine on isolated tracheal chains of asthmatic compared to co...

P185: Survey Effect of Histamine on Microglia in Neurodegenerative Diseases

Neurodegenerative diseases contain Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD), are characterized by neuronal death and neuronal degeneration in specific regions of the central nervous system (CNS). Microglia are the basic immune brain cells and play a role in homeostasis after inflammation challenge. Microglia involves in Neurodegenerative disease...
