Influence of brain histaminergic system on episodic growth hormone secretion in the rat. 1982

C Netti, and F Guidobono, and V R Olgiati, and V Sibilia, and F Pagani, and A Pecile

The effects of histamine and amodiaquine (a drug known to inhibit histamine-N-methyltransferase) on pulsatile growth hormone (GH) secretion were determined in unanaesthetized male rats. Intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) administration of histamine (0.01, 0.05, 0.1 mumol/rat) caused a dose-related suppression of spontaneous pulses of rat GH (rGH) secretion. Amodiaquine (0.16 mumol/rat i.c.v.) also inhibited the pulses, but to a lesser degree. The results, which show the inhibitory effects of both exogenous histamine and increased levels of endogenous histamine on pulsatile rGH secretion, support the hypothesis that the histaminergic system also plays a role in physiological CNS control of rGH secretion.

D011968 Receptors, Histamine Cell-surface proteins that bind histamine and trigger intracellular changes influencing the behavior of cells. Histamine receptors are widespread in the central nervous system and in peripheral tissues. Three types have been recognized and designated H1, H2, and H3. They differ in pharmacology, distribution, and mode of action. Histamine Binding Sites,Histamine Receptors,Histamine Receptor,Binding Sites, Histamine,Receptor, Histamine,Sites, Histamine Binding
D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
