Histamine H2-receptor antagonists for urticaria
Urticaria is a common skin disease characterised by itching weals or hives, which can occur almost anywhere on the body. There are a number of different subtypes and a range of available treatment options. There is lack of agreement on the efficacy of H2-receptor antagonists used in the treatment of urticaria.To assess the safety and effectiveness of ...

Involvement of histamine H1 and H2 receptor inverse agonists in receptor's crossregulation [PDF]
Histamine [2-(4-Imidazolyl)-ethylamine] modulates different biological processes, through histamine H1 and H2 receptors, and their respective blockers are widely used in treating allergic and gastric acid-related disorders.

Activation of histamine type 2 receptors enhances intrinsic excitability of medium spiny neurons in the nucleus accumbens [PDF]
: Histaminergic neurons are exclusively located in the hypothalamic tuberomammillary nucleus, from where they project to many brain areas including the nucleus accumbens (NAc), a brain area that integrates diverse monoaminergic inputs to coordinate ...

Histamine can be Formed and Degraded in the Human and Mouse Heart [PDF]
Histamine is metabolized by several enzymes in vitro and in vivo. The relevance of this metabolism in the mammalian heart in vivo is unclear. However, histamine can exert positive inotropic effects (PIE) and positive chronotropic effects (PCE) in humans ...

Histamine stimulates the proliferation of small and large cholangiocytes by activation of both IP3/Ca2+ and cAMP-dependent signaling mechanisms [PDF]
Although large cholangiocytes exert their functions by activation of cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP), Ca(2+)-dependent signaling regulates the function of small cholangiocytes. Histamine interacts with four receptors, H1-H4HRs.

Molecular basis for the interaction of histamine with the histamine H2 receptor.
We undertook these studies to characterize the molecular basis of the interaction of histamine with the H2 receptor. Key areas of homology in the structures of the histamine H2 and beta 2 adrenergic receptor suggested specific transmembrane amino acids that might be important for binding of histamine.

Neuropharmacological targets for drug action in vestibular sensory pathways [PDF]
The use of pharmacological agents is often the preferred approach to the management of vestibular dysfunction. In the vestibular sensory pathways, the sensory neuroepithelia are thought to be influenced by a diverse number of neuroactive substances that ...

Plasticity of histamine H3 receptor expression and binding in the vestibular nuclei after labyrinthectomy in rat [PDF]
Background: In rat, deafferentation of one labyrinth (unilateral labyrinthectomy) results in a characteristic syndrome of ocular and motor postural disorders (e.g., barrel rotation, circling behavior, and spontaneous nystagmus). Behavioral recovery (e.g.,

H3 histamine receptor-mediated activation of protein kinase calpha inhibits the growth of cholangiocarcinoma in vitro and in vivo [PDF]
Histamine regulates functions via four receptors (HRH1, HRH2, HRH3, and HRH4). The D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3))/Ca(2+)/protein kinase C (PKC)/mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway regulates cholangiocarcinoma growth.
