It has long been established that histamine plays a role as a mediator of inflammation. From numerous studies, it has been well known that the amine has many pharmacological actions on a variety of organs. To evaluate the role of histamine in pain perception, we generated HDC knockout mice using a gene targeting method. Histamine is a hydrophilic autacoid, and in most tissues it is stored and s...

Introduction: The protective and antisecretory effects of dopamine agonists on the stomach have been already reported, but the effect of bromocriptine (D2 dopamine agonist) on histamine stimulated gastric acid secretion (GAS) needs to be investigated. Methods: For gastric sampling, animals were anesthetized and a polyethylen tube was introduced into the stomach through esophagus. A cannula ...

in a previous study, the relaxant and anticholinergic (functional antagonism) effects of bunium persicum (b. persicum ) have been demonstrated on guinea pig tracheal chains. to elucidate the other mechanisms responsible for this relaxant effect, the inhibitory effect of this plant on histamine h1 receptors was examined in this study. the antihistaminic effects of aqueous and macerated extracts,...

Histamine is synthesized via histidine decarboxylase (HDC) in wide types of immune cells and is involved in abundant physiologic and pathologic processes. Histamine is a mediator released during inflammatory reactions, such as food allergy. Food allergy is immunological reactions to 'fight off' specific allergens within food in susceptible individuals. The aim of this study is investigation of ...

We have previously reported that imatinib, a c-Abl inhibitor, reduces caveolae-mediated endocytosis of endothelial cells and inhibits the extravasation IgG in steady state. However, target signaling pathway behind this mechanism remains unclear. Here, we established an vitro culture system using human dermal microvascular (HDMEC) to mimic IgG. Thrombin histamine increased translocation through ...

Histamine intolerance results from a disequilibrium of accumulated histamine and the capacity for histamine degradation. Histamine is a biogenic amine that occurs to various degrees in many foods. In healthy persons, dietary histamine can be rapidly detoxified by amine oxidases, whereas persons with low amine oxidase activity are at risk of histamine toxicity. Diamine oxidase (DAO) is the main ...

Some bacteria decarboxylate amino acids as a means of resisting acid stress. It is mechanism commonly used by in fermented dairy products. The decarboxylation histidine to histamine occurs frequently some types cheese, but high concentrations can be harmful consumers. Not all products are, however, undesirable. GABA, the product glutamate, has positive effects on human health. Although and GABA...
