  2. Histamine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histamine

    Histamine is an organic nitrogenous compound involved in local immune responses communication, as well as regulating physiological functions in the gut and acting as a neurotransmitter for the brain, spinal cord, and uterus.

  3. Reference ranges for blood tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_ranges_for_blood...

    This may also be called standard range. In contrast, optimal (health) range or therapeutic target is a reference range or limit that is based on concentrations or levels that are associated with optimal health or minimal risk of related complications and diseases. For most substances presented, the optimal levels are the ones normally found in ...

  4. Histamine agonist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histamine_agonist

    A histamine agonist is a drug which causes increased activity at one or more of the four histamine receptor subtypes. H 1 agonists promote wakefulness. [1] H 2: Betazole and Impromidine are examples of agonists used in diagnostics to increase histamine. H 3: Betahistine is a weak Histamine 1 agonist and a very strong antagonist of the Histamine ...

  5. Histidine decarboxylase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histidine_decarboxylase

    In mammals, histamine is an important biogenic amine with regulatory roles in neurotransmission, gastric acid secretion and immune response. [1] [2] Histidine decarboxylase is the sole member of the histamine synthesis pathway, producing histamine in a one-step reaction. Histamine cannot be generated by any other known enzyme.

  6. Biogenic amine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biogenic_amine

    Histamine – a substance derived from the amino acid histidine that acts as a neurotransmitter mediating arousal and attention, as well as a pro-inflammatory signal released from mast cells in response to allergic reactions or tissue damage. Histamine is also an important stimulant of HCl secretion by the stomach through histamine H 2 ...

    Dimaprit is a histamine analog working as a selective H 2 histamine receptor agonist. [1] [2] [3] References This page was last edited on 15 May 2021, at 19:05 ...

  8. Histamine receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histamine_receptor

    [1] [2] Histamine is a neurotransmitter involved in various physiological processes. There are four main types of histamine receptors: H1, H2, H3, and H4. H1 receptors are linked to allergic responses, H2 to gastric acid regulation, H3 to neurotransmitter release modulation, and H4 to immune system function. There are four known histamine ...

  9. 1-Methylhistamine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Methylhistamine

    It can bind to histamine receptors, still, NMH has a lower affinity and efficacy than histamine for these receptors, meaning that it binds less strongly and activates them less effectively. Depending on the receptor subtype and the tissue context, NMH may act as a partial agonist or an antagonist for some histamine receptors.
