We investigated the relationship between histamine and muscarinic cholinergic neurons in central nervous system (CNS)-mediated glucose regulation in anesthetized fed rats. The injection of pyrilamine (5 x 10(-7) mol) into the third cerebral ventricle suppressed the hyperglycemia induced by intraventricular injection of histamine (5 x 10(-7) mol). Ranitidine (5 x 10(-7) mol), however, did not suppress this hyperglycemia. The injection of atropine (5 x 10(-9)-5 x 10(-7) mol) into the third cerebral ventricle suppressed the histamine-induced hyperglycemia in a dose-dependent manner. These findings suggest that histamine induction of CNS-mediated hyperglycemia involves neuronal transmission not only via H1 receptors but also, at least in part, by muscarinic cholinergic neurons.

D011976 Receptors, Muscarinic One of the two major classes of cholinergic receptors. Muscarinic receptors were originally defined by their preference for MUSCARINE over NICOTINE. There are several subtypes (usually M1, M2, M3....) that are characterized by their cellular actions, pharmacology, and molecular biology.

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
