First description of a histamine receptor of class 2 (HRH2) in a protochordate: expression during blastogenesis and role in regulation of ciliary beat frequency [PDF]
Histaminergic receptors belong to the family of seven-transmembrane \u3b1-helix domain receptors classified in mammals into four distinct classes. Despite being widely studied in vertebrates, few data are available on the invertebrate receptors, with ...

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 ...

Central Effect of Exogenous Histamine on Pain Induced by Sub-Plantar Injection of Formalin in Rabbits [PDF]
In the present study, the effects of intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of normal saline (control), histamine, mepyramine (a histamine H1-receptor antagonist) and ranitidine (a histamine H2-receptor antagonist) were investigated on the formalin-

Increased accuracy of ligand sensing by receptor diffusion on cell surface [PDF]
The physical limit with which a cell senses external ligand concentration corresponds to the perfect absorber, where all ligand particles are absorbed and overcounting of same ligand particles does not occur. Here we analyze how the lateral diffusion of receptors on the cell membrane affects the accuracy of sensing ligand concentration.

In this study we utilized proteomic profiling to investigate mechanisms linked to the cancer‐inhibitory effect of cranberry proanthocyanidins (CPACs) on reflux‐induced esophageal adenocarcinoma in a rat model. The results indicate that CPAC inhibits cancer through targeting multiple hallmarks of cancer known to be dysregulated in progression to ...

Mast cells are critical for protection against peptic ulcers induced by the NSAID piroxicam. [PDF]
Many commonly used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) also cause gastrointestinal toxicity, including the development of life-threatening peptic ulcers. We report that mast cell-deficient mice have an extremely high incidence of severe peptic

Pathogenesis of Melasma Explained
Pathophysiology of melasma. ABSTRACT This review provides an in‐depth analysis of the pathophysiology of melasma and highlights recent studies that elucidate its underlying mechanisms. Given the prevalence of melasma, a thorough understanding of its pathogenesis is critical for the development of effective treatment strategies.

Role of the Histaminergic System in the Inhibitory Effect of Melatonin on Broiler Chicken Feed Intake [PDF]
Prior investigations have postulated that melatonin, a prominent hormone produced by the pineal gland, can reduce animal food consumption. This study was designed to evaluate the involvement of central histamine H1 and H2 receptors in regulating ...
