Several lines of evidence suggest that brain histamine may be involved in the central control of food intake. The effect of histamine on feeding is mediated through three kinds of receptors (H1, H2, and H3). The present study was designed to investigate the effect of intracerebroventricular injection of histamine, promethazine (H1 antagonist) and ranitidine (H2 antagonist) on food intake of fre...

the role of endogenous histamine and h1, h2 and h3 central receptors on food intake in broiler chickenswas investigated. for this purpose, a probe was used to manipulate the concentration of endogenoushistamine by intracerebroventricular (icv) injection of thioperamide, an h3 receptor antagonist, and r-α-methylhistamine, an h3 receptor agonist and subsequently the effects of brain histaminergic...

teucrium polium is used for treatment of visceral pain in iranian folkloric medicine. in this studyantinociceptive mechanisms of t. polium hydroethanolic extract were examined by acetic acid-inducedwrithing test as a model of visceral pain in male nmri mice. to reveal the antinociceptive mechanisms ofthe extract, we examined the effects of opioidergic, serotonergic, adrenergic and histaminergic...

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...

In several brain tissues the accumulation of cyclic AMP induced by directly acting stimulants, such as isoprenaline, adenosine or histamine (Hr) can be potentiated by histamine HI-receptor agonists [l-3]. The potentiation of adenosine-coupled cyclic AMP accumulation has proved useful in quantitative studies of functional H,-receptors in guinea-pig cerebral cortical slices [4, 51, but the recent...
