Abstract
Perioperative anaphylaxis poses a special challenge due to its unique condition with the additive effects of surgery and anesthesia, which tends to be more difficult to recognize, diagnose, and manage, resulting in potentially fatal outcomes. Appropriate prevention and treatment benefits patients and reduces mortality and morbidity. Significant body temperature changes occur during anaphylaxis and/or anesthesia, which correlates with the outcomes. During the perioperative period, body temperature and anaphylaxis bidirectionally interact with each other, and anaphylaxis is generally deteriorated by hypothermia, which is usually required in cardiac surgeries. Perioperative factors, such as surgery and anesthesia, affect body temperature and anaphylaxis. The complicated role of body temperature and its application in the diagnosis of perioperative anaphylaxis and prediction of the outcomes are still unclear. To date, a profile of body temperature change during perioperative anaphylaxis is lacking, which requires further study. This literature review was conducted with updated data on perioperative anaphylaxis from the perspective of temperature as a component aiming to bring attention to and offer some cues for improving perioperative prevention and management for perioperative medical teams.Supplemental data for this article is available online at https://doi.org/10.1080/08941939.2021.1922553 .

Zwickl H, Zwickl-Traxler E, Pecherstorfer M. Is Neuronal Histamine Signaling Involved in Cancer Cachexia? Implications and Perspectives. Front Oncol 2019; 9:1409. [PMID: 31921666 PMCID: PMC6933599 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2019.01409] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2019] [Accepted: 11/28/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
In this paper, we present evidence in support of our hypothesis that the neuronal histaminergic system might be involved in cancer cachexia1. To build our premise, we present the research and the reasonable inferences that can be drawn from it in a section by section approach starting from one of the key issues related to cachexia, increased resting energy expenditure (REE), and progressing to the other, anorexia. Based on an extensive survey of the literature and our own deliberations on the abovementioned topics, we investigate whether histamine signaling might be the mechanism used by a tumor to hijack the body's thermogenic machinery. Our hypothesis in short is that hypothalamic histaminergic neurons are stimulated by inputs from the parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS), which senses tumor traits early in cancer development. Histamine release in the preoptic area of the hypothalamus primarily activates brown adipose tissue (BAT), triggering a highly energy demanding mechanism. Chronic activation of BAT, which, in this context, refers to intermittent and/or low grade activation by the sympathetic nervous system, leads to browning of white adipose tissue and further enhances thermogenic potential. Aberrant histamine signaling not only triggers energy-consuming processes, but also anorexia. Moreover, since functions such as taste, smell, and sleep are governed by discrete structures of the brain, which are targeted by distinct histaminergic neuron populations even relatively minor symptoms of cachexia, such as sleep disturbances and taste and smell distortions, also might be ascribed to aberrant histamine signaling. In late stage cachexia, the sympathetic tone in skeletal muscle breaks down, which we hypothesize might be caused by a reduction in histamine signaling or by the interference of other cachexia related mechanisms. Histamine signaling thus might delineate distinct stages of cachexia progression, with the early phase marked by a PSNS-mediated increase in histamine signaling, increased sympathetic tone and symptomatic adipose tissue depletion, and the late phase characterized by reduced histamine signaling, decreased sympathetic tone and symptomatic muscle wasting. To support our hypothesis, we review the literature from across disciplines and highlight the many commonalities between the mechanisms underlying cancer cachexia and current research findings on the regulation of energy homeostasis (particularly as it relates to hypothalamic histamine signaling). Extrapolating from the current body of knowledge, we develop our hypothetical framework (based on experimentally falsifiable assumptions) about the role of a distinct neuron population in the pathophysiology of cancer cachexia. Our hope is that presenting our ideas will spark discussion about the pathophysiology of cachexia, cancer's devastating and intractable syndrome.

Abstract
The histaminergic system modulates numerous physiological functions such as wakefulness, circadian rhythm, feeding, and thermoregulation. However, it is not yet known if this system is also involved in psychological stress-induced hyperthermia (PSH) and, if so, which histamine (H) receptor subtype mediates the effect. Therefore, we investigated the effects of pretreatments with intraperitoneal injections of mepyramine (an H1 receptor inverse agonist), cimetidine (an H2 receptor antagonist), and ciproxifan (an H3 receptor inverse agonist) on cage-exchange stress-induced hyperthermia (a model of PSH) by monitoring core body temperature (Tc) during both light (10:00 am-12:00 pm) and dark (10:00 pm-12:00 am) phases in conscious, freely moving rats. We also investigated the effects of these drugs on stress-induced changes in locomotor activity (La) to rule out the possibility that effects on Tc are achieved secondary to altered La Cage-exchange stress increased Tc within 20 min followed by a gradual decrease back to baseline Tc during both phases. In the light phase, mepyramine and cimetidine markedly attenuated PSH, whereas ciproxifan did not affect it. In contrast, in the dark phase, mepyramine dropped Tc by 1°C without affecting cage-exchange stress-induced hyperthermia, whereas cimetidine and ciproxifan did not affect both postinjection Tc and PSH Cage-exchange stress induced an increase in La, especially in the light phase, but none of these drugs altered cage-exchange stress-induced La in either circadian rhythm phase. These results suggest that the histaminergic system is involved in the physiological mechanisms underlying PSH, particularly through H1 and H2 receptors, without influencing locomotor activity.

Peripheral Adenosine A3 Receptor Activation Causes Regulated Hypothermia in Mice That Is Dependent on Central Histamine H1 Receptors. J Pharmacol Exp Ther 2016; 356:474-82.

Abstract
Adenosine can induce hypothermia, as previously demonstrated for adenosine A1 receptor (A1AR) agonists. Here we use the potent, specific A3AR agonists MRS5698, MRS5841, and MRS5980 to show that adenosine also induces hypothermia via the A3AR. The hypothermic effect of A3AR agonists is independent of A1AR activation, as the effect was fully intact in mice lacking A1AR but abolished in mice lacking A3AR. A3AR agonist-induced hypothermia was attenuated by mast cell granule depletion, demonstrating that the A3AR hypothermia is mediated, at least in part, via mast cells. Central agonist dosing had no clear hypothermic effect, whereas peripheral dosing of a non-brain-penetrant agonist caused hypothermia, suggesting that peripheral A3AR-expressing cells drive the hypothermia. Mast cells release histamine, and blocking central histamine H1 (but not H2 or H4) receptors prevented the hypothermia. The hypothermia was preceded by hypometabolism and mice with hypothermia preferred a cooler environmental temperature, demonstrating that the hypothermic state is a coordinated physiologic response with a reduced body temperature set point. Importantly, hypothermia is not required for the analgesic effects of A3AR agonists, which occur with lower agonist doses. These results support a mechanistic model for hypothermia in which A3AR agonists act on peripheral mast cells, causing histamine release, which stimulates central histamine H1 receptors to induce hypothermia. This mechanism suggests that A3AR agonists will probably not be useful for clinical induction of hypothermia.

Abstract
Histamine modulates several aspects of energy homeostasis. By activating histamine receptors in the hypothalamus the bioamine influences thermoregulation, its circadian rhythm, energy expenditure and feeding. These actions are brought about by activation of different histamine receptors and/or the recruitment of distinct neural pathways. In this review we describe the signaling mechanisms activated by histamine in the hypothalamus, the evidence for its role in modulating energy homeostasis as well as recent advances in the understanding of the cellular and neural network mechanisms involved. This article is part of the Special Issue entitled 'Histamine Receptors'.

Infralimbic cortex controls core body temperature in a histamine dependent manner. Physiol Behav 2014; 128:1-8.

Abstract
An increase in body temperature accelerates biochemical reactions and behavioral and physiological responses. A mechanism to actively increase body temperature would be beneficial during motivated behaviors. The prefrontal cortex is implicated in organizing motivated behavior; the infralimbic cortex, a subregion of the medial prefrontal cortex, has the necessary connectivity to serve the role of initiating such thermogenic mechanism at the beginning of the appetitive phase of motivated behavior; further, this cortex is active during motivated behavior and its disinhibition produces a marked behavioral and vegetative arousal increase, together with increases in histamine levels. We wanted to explore if this arousal was related to histaminergic activation after pharmacological infralimbic disinhibition and during the appetitive phase of motivated behavior. We measured core temperature and motor activity in response to picrotoxin injection in the infralimbic cortex, as well as during food-related appetitive behavior, evoked by enticing hungry rats with food. Pretreatment with the H1 receptor antagonist pyrilamine decreased thermal response to picrotoxin and enticement and completely blunted motor response to enticement. Motor and temperature responses to enticement were also completely abolished by infralimbic cortex inhibition with muscimol. To assess if this histamine dependent temperature increase was produced by an active sympathetic mediated thermogenic mechanism or was just a consequence of increased locomotor activity, we injected propranolol (i.p.), a β adrenergic receptor blocker, before picrotoxin injection into the infralimbic cortex. Propranolol reduced the temperature increase without affecting locomotor activity. Altogether, these results suggest that infralimbic activation is necessary for appetitive behavior by inducing a motor and a vegetative arousal increase mediated by central histamine.

Abstract
Thermoregulatory neurons of the median preoptic nucleus (MnPO) represent a target at which histamine modulates body temperature. The mechanism by which histamine excites a population of MnPO neurons is not known. In this study it was found that histamine activated a cationic inward current and increased the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration, actions that had a transient component as well as a sustained one that lasted for tens of minutes after removal of the agonist. The sustained component was blocked by TRPC channel blockers. Single-cell reverse transcription-PCR analysis revealed expression of TRPC1, TRPC5 and TRPC7 subunits in neurons excited by histamine. These studies also established the presence of transcripts for the glutamatergic marker Vglut2 and for the H1 histamine receptor in neurons excited by histamine. Intracellular application of antibodies directed against cytoplasmic sites of the TRPC1 or TRPC5 channel subunits decreased the histamine-induced inward current. The persistent inward current and elevation in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration could be reversed by activating the PKA pathway. This data reveal a novel mechanism by which histamine induces persistent excitation and sustained intracellular Ca(2+) elevation in glutamatergic MnPO neurons.

Abstract
Histamine acts centrally to increase energy expenditure and reduce body weight by mechanisms not fully understood. It has been suggested that in the obese state hypothalamic histamine signaling is altered. Previous studies have also shown that histamine acting in the preoptic area controls thermoregulation. We aimed to study the influence of preoptic histamine on body temperature and energy homeostasis in control and obese mice. Activating histamine receptors in the preoptic area by increasing the concentration of endogenous histamine or by local injection of specific agonists induced an elevation of core body temperature and decreased respiratory exchange ratio (RER). In addition, the food intake was significantly decreased. The hyperthermic effect was associated with a rapid increase in mRNA expression of uncoupling proteins in thermogenic tissues, the most pronounced being that of uncoupling protein (UCP) 1 in brown adipose tissue and of UCP2 in white adipose tissue. In diet-induced obese mice histamine had much diminished hyperthermic effects as well as reduced effect on RER. Similarly, the ability of preoptic histamine signaling to increase the expression of uncoupling proteins was abolished. We also found that the expression of mRNA encoding the H1 receptor subtype in the preoptic area was significantly lower in obese animals. These results indicate that histamine signaling in the preoptic area modulates energy homeostasis by regulating body temperature, metabolic parameters and food intake and that the obese state is associated with a decrease in neurotransmitter's influence.

Abstract
Histamine is involved in the central control of arousal, circadian rhythms and metabolism. The preoptic area, a region that contains thermoregulatory neurons is the main locus of histamine modulation of body temperature. Here we report that in mice, histamine activates H(2) subtype receptors in the medial preoptic nucleus (MPON) and induces hyperthermia. We also found that a population of glutamatergic MPON neurons express H(2) receptors and are excited by histamine or H(2) specific agonists. The agonists decreased the input resistance of the neuron and increased the depolarizing "sag" observed during hyperpolarizing current injections. Furthermore, at -60 mV holding potential, activation of H(2) receptors induced an inward current that was blocked by ZD7288, a specific blocker of the hyperpolarization activated cationic current (I(h)). Indeed, activation of H(2) receptors resulted in increased I(h) amplitude in response to hyperpolarizing voltage steps and a depolarizing shift in its voltage-dependent activation. The neurons excited by H(2) specific agonism expressed the HCN1 and HCN2 channel subunits. Our data indicate that at the level of the MPON histamine influences thermoregulation by increasing the firing rate of glutamatergic neurons that express H(2) receptors.

Abstract
Histamine regulates arousal, circadian rhythms, and thermoregulation. Activation of H3 histamine receptors expressed by preoptic GABAergic neurons results in a decrease of their firing rate and hyperthermia. Here we report that an increase in the A-type K+ current in preoptic GABAergic neurons in response to activation of H3 histamine receptors results in decreased firing rate and hyperthermia in mice. The Kv4.2 subunit is required for these actions in spite of the fact that Kv4.2−/− preoptic GABAergic neurons display A-type currents and firing characteristics similar to those of wild-type neurons. This electrical remodeling is achieved by robust upregulation of the expression of the Kv4.1 subunit and of a delayed rectifier current. Dynamic clamp experiments indicate that enhancement of the A-type current by a similar amount to that induced by histamine is sufficient to mimic its robust effect on firing rates. These data indicate a central role played by the Kv4.2 subunit in histamine regulation of body temperature and its interaction with pERK1/2 downstream of the H3 receptor. We also reveal that this pathway provides a mechanism for selective modulation of body temperature at the beginning of the active phase of the circadian cycle.

Abstract
The preoptic area/anterior hypothalamus, a region that contains neurons that control thermoregulation, is the main locus at which histamine affects body temperature. Here we report that histamine reduced the spontaneous firing rate of GABAergic preoptic neurons by activating H3 subtype histamine receptors. This effect involved a decrease in the level of phosphorylation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase and was not dependent on synaptic activity. Furthermore, a population of non-GABAergic neurons was depolarized, and their firing rate was enhanced by histamine acting at H1 subtype receptors. In our experiments, activation of the H1R receptors was linked to the PLC pathway and Ca(2+) release from intracellular stores. This depolarization persisted in TTX or when fast synaptic potentials were blocked, indicating that it represents a postsynaptic effect. Single-cell reverse transcription-PCR analysis revealed expression of H3 receptors in a population of GABAergic neurons, while H1 receptors were expressed in non-GABAergic cells. Histamine applied in the median preoptic nucleus induced a robust, long-lasting hyperthermia effect that was mimicked by either H1 or H3 histamine receptor subtype-specific agonists. Our data indicate that histamine modulates the core body temperature by acting at two distinct populations of preoptic neurons that express H1 and H3 receptor subtypes, respectively.

Abstract
The neuroprotective effects of hibernation-regulating substances (HRS) such as adenosine (ADO), opioids, histamine and thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) on low-temperature-induced cell death (LTCD) were examined using primary cultured hamster hippocampal neurons. LTCD was induced when cultures were maintained at <22 degrees C for 7 days. ADO (10-100 microM) protected cultured neurons from LTCD in a dose-dependent manner. The neuroprotective effects of ADO were reversed by both 8-cyclopenthyltheophilline (CPT; A(1) receptor antagonist) and 3,7-dimethyl-1-propargylxanthine (DMPX; A(2) receptor antagonist). Morphine (a non-selective opioid receptor agonist) was also effective in attenuating LTCD at an in vitro dose range of 10-100 muM. The neuroprotective effects of morphine were antagonized by naloxone (a non-selective opioid receptor antagonist). In addition, although [D-Ala(2), N-Me-Phe(4), Gly-ol(5)]-enkephalin (DAMGO; mu-opioid receptor agonist), [D-Pen(2,5)]-enkephalin (DPDPE; delta-opioid receptor agonist) and U-69593 (kappa-opioid receptor agonist) were also effective, LTCD of cultured hippocampal neurons was not affected by TRH. Furthermore, histamine produced hypothermia in Syrian hamsters and protected hippocampal neurons in vitro at 100 microM. The neuroprotective effect of histamine was reversed by pyrilamine (H(1) receptor antagonist). Apoptosis was probably involved in LTCD. These results suggest that ADO protected hippocampal neurons in vitro via its agonistic actions on both A(1) and A(2) receptors, whereas morphine probably elicited its neuroprotective effects via agonistic effects on the mu-, delta- and kappa-opioid receptors. In addition, histamine also protected hippocampal neurons via its agonistic action on the H(1) receptor. Thus, HRS-like adenosine-, opioid- and histamine-like hypothermic actions would most likely induce neuroprotective effects against LTCD in vitro.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although perioperative hypothermia is a well-known consequence of general anesthesia, it has been hypothesized that laparoscopic surgery exacerbates hypothermia to a greater extent than open surgery. The aim of this study was to demonstrate that laparoscopic surgery does not represent an increased risk for hypothermia. METHODS A case-controlled retrospective study was conducted on 45 patients, 25 undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy and 20 undergoing parathyroid surgery under endotracheal general anesthesia. Data were collected regarding age, sex, weight, height, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) status, length of surgery, and anesthesia. In addition, we analyzed the type of intraoperative intravenous fluids, anesthetics and perioperative drugs, and temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate recordings during anesthesia. RESULTS There was no significant difference between the two groups with respect to age, sex, body mass index (BMI), ASA status, type or amount of intravenous fluids infused, length of anesthesia or surgery, changes in mean blood pressure, or heart rate. Core body temperatures in both groups decreased significantly over time (p 0.05). There was no difference between the groups in terms of maximum drop in temperature (lowest temperature recorded vs baseline temperature) (1.1 +/- 0.7 vs 1.0 +/- 0.7 degrees C, p > 0.05). CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that patients who undergo laparoscopic and open procedures of similar duration under endotracheal general anesthesia have similar profiles in terms of perioperative hypothermia.

Abstract
Cats were chronically implanted with electrodes for polygraphic recordings and cannulae for intracerebral microinjections in order to study the functional role of histaminergic innervation of the preoptic-anterior hypothalamus in sleep-wake control. alpha-Fluoromethylhistidine (alpha FMH, 50 micrograms in 1 microliter), a specific inhibitor of the histamine-synthesizing enzyme, when injected bilaterally into the preoptic area, where numerous histaminergic fibres and terminal-like structures are present, caused a significant increase in deep slow wave sleep (S2) and paradoxical sleep (PS) and a decrease in wakefulness. In contrast, microinjections of histamine (5 or 30 micrograms in 1 microliter) in the same area dose-relatedly increased wakefulness and decreased both slow wave sleep and paradoxical sleep. The effects of histamine were reduced by pretreatment with mepyramine (1 mg/kg i.p.), a well known histamine H1 receptor antagonist, and were mimicked by a local injection of impromidine (1 microgram in 1 microliter), a potent histamine H2 receptor agonist. Microinjections of mepyramine alone (120 micrograms in 1 microliter) caused an increase in slow wave sleep. These results suggest that preoptic histaminergic innervation is involved in sleep-wake control and that the action might be mediated via both H1 and H2 receptors.

Abstract
The neurotoxicity of the histamine H2 agonist dimaprit was characterized. Dimaprit (100 micrograms administered into the lateral cerebral ventricle) induced a large area of brain necrosis 1-3 days later which was uniformly lethal. Lower doses caused dose - related effects on survival, gross brain pathology and body weight. Experiments with other H2 agonists and H2 antagonists, together with studies by others demonstrating a similar toxicity of the congener homodimaprit suggest that the neurotoxicity of dimaprit is independent of brain H2 receptors. Although dimaprit is a useful tool for the characterization of H2 receptor responses, the present results show that this agent must be used with caution, if at all, in classifying brain H2-receptor mediated events.

Abstract
Single neuronal activities were recorded extracellularly from slice preparations of the rat preoptic area and effects of histamine (0.01 10 microM) on the activities were examined with regard to thermosensitivies of the neurons. Superfusion of histamine increased the firing rate in 52 of 75 warm-sensitive neurons and in 22 of 41 thermally insensitive neurons in a dose-dependent manner. Ten (3%) warm-sensitive neurons and 6 (15%) thermally insensitive neurons were inhibited by histamine. Mepyramine (10 microM) (H1-antagonist), but not famotidine (H2-antagonist), blocked the histamine (10 microM) induced excitation in 19 (76%) of 25 warm-sensitive neurons and in 6 (75%) of 8 thermally insensitive neurons. These results suggest that histamine excites both warm-sensitive and thermally insensitive neurons in the preoptic area mainly via the H1-receptor.

Abstract
Antagonism of the H-2 receptor with cimetidine and other histaminergic receptor antagonists has been used to differentiate nonopioid and opioid forms of footshock analgesia which are mediated by neural mechanisms. Cimetidine reduces nonopioid footshock analgesia while potentiating an opioid form of this analgesia. The present study examined whether cimetidine altered the nonopioid, neurohormonal analgesia induced by either continuous cold-water swims (CCWS: 2 degrees C for 3.5 min) or the opioid analgesia induced by intermittent cold-water swims (ICWS: 2 degrees C, 18 10-sec swims, 18 10-sec recovery periods). Vehicle or cimetidine (10, 50, 100 mg/kg) injections were administered alone or paired with either CCWS or ICWS; tail-flick latencies, jump thresholds and core body temperatures were then measured. Cimetidine (100 mg/kg) significantly potentiated CCWS and ICWS analgesia and hypothermia, while having minimal effects upon basal thresholds. Lower cimetidine doses produced transitory effects on these measures. These data demonstrate dissociations between neural and neurohormonal forms of nonopioid analgesia following cimetidine treatment. The latter effect may be attributed to changes in stress responsiveness or thermoregulation rather than pain inhibition.

Abstract
The inhibition of hindpaw (non-opiate) footshock-induced analgesia (HP-FSIA) by cimetidine, the histamine H2-receptor antagonist, was characterized in rats, and the drug's presence in brain was demonstrated. Cimetidine (100 mg/kg, IP) inhibited HP-FSIA when administered 30 min before testing, but was inactive when testing began sooner (15 min) or later (1-4 hr) than this time. Lower doses (20 mg/kg) were also ineffective when given 30 min before testing, whereas higher doses (200 mg/kg) effectively inhibited the response. Increasing the footshock current from 4 mA (which elicited cimetidine-sensitive analgesia) to higher currents (5 and 6 mA) yielded cimetidine-insensitive analgesia. Administration of isotopically labeled cimetidine (100 mg/kg, IP, 30 min) yielded whole brain cimetidine levels of 1.95 nmols/g, respectively, with a brain/blood ratio of 0.017. These findings confirm a limited penetration of brain by cimetidine, and show that large peripheral doses of cimetidine are required to block brain H2-receptors. The specific dose and time requirements for cimetidine to inhibit the HP-FSIA are probably attributable to the brain drug levels that can be achieved after peripheral administration.

Abstract
This survey continues a second series of compilations of data regarding changes in body temperature induced by drugs and related agents. The information listed includes the species used, the route of administration and dose of drug, the environmental temperature at which experiments were performed, the number of tests, the direction and magnitude of change in body temperature and remarks on the presence of special conditions, such as age or brain lesions. Also indicated is the influence of other drugs, such as antagonists, on the response to the primary agent. Most of the papers were published since 1979, but data from many earlier papers are also tabulated.

Abstract
The chemical tools that could be used to examine the function of histamine in the brain are considered together with the evidence linking histamine specifically with the hypothalamus. The distribution of histamine and the enzymes responsible for its synthesis and metabolism is consistent with there being both mast cells and histaminergic nerve terminals within the hypothalamus. Iontophoresis, mepyramine binding and histamine-stimulated adenylate cyclase studies suggest that both histamine H1- and H2- receptors are present in the hypothalamus. In addition, intracerebroventricularly injected histamine receptor agonists and antagonists affect many functions associated with the hypothalamus such as cardiovascular control, food intake, body temperature control, and pituitary hormones whose release is mediated via the hypothalamus, such as corticotropin, growth hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone, prolactin, gonadotropins and vasopressin. However, only in the case of thyroliberin release, prolactin release, body fluid control and blood pressure control is there evidence yet that such effects are mediated via histamine receptors actually in the hypothalamus. The effects of enzyme inhibitors suggest endogenous histamine may be involved in the physiological control of thyroid stimulating hormone, growth hormone and blood pressure, and the effects of receptor antagonists support a role for endogenous histamine in prolactin control. Otherwise, there is little evidence for a physiological role for endogenous, as against exogenous, histamine whether it be from histaminergic terminals or mast cells. In addition, few studies have tried to distinguish possible effects on presynaptic receptors, postsynaptic receptors, hypothalamic blood vessels or the hypophyseal portal blood vessels. It is concluded that although there is good evidence now linking histamine and the hypothalamus more specific studies are required, for instance using microinjection or in vitro techniques and the more specific chemical tools now available, to enable a clearer understanding of the physiological role of histamine in the hypothalamus.
