	HRH2 - histamine receptor H2
		Histamine responses were sensitive to the H1 receptor antagonist triprolidine (10 microM) and the nonselective potassium channel blocker barium (1 mM) but were unaffected by the H2 receptor antagonist tiotidine (10 microM) and the H3 receptor antagonist, clobenpropit (5 microM).
		Histamine, selective histamine H1- and H2-receptor agonists, and chemical analogues of these compounds lacking activity at histamine receptors, were tested as inhibitors of phytohaemagglutinin-induced human lymphocyte proliferation and zymosan-induced release of lysosomal enzymes from human polymorphs.
		Recently, we have shown that histamine binds to the histamine H2 receptor as a monocation in its proximal tautomeric form, and, moreover, we suggested that a proton is donated from the receptor towards the tele-position of the agonist, thereby triggering the biological effect [Nederkoorn et al., J. Mol.

	eMedicine - Toxicity, Marine - Histamine In Fish : Article Excerpt by: Daniel Noltkamper, MD, FACEP (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Histamine fish poisoning—variously known in the past as scombroid fish poisoning, pseudoallergic fish poisoning, histamine overdose, or mahi-mahi flush—accounts for 5% of all food-borne outbreaks reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and 37% of all seafood-related food-borne illnesses.
		Histamine fish poisoning presents as a possible allergic reaction after consuming certain fish but actually is caused by ingesting toxins within the fish's tissues.
		Elevated histamine levels in the urine of affected patients and elevated histamine levels in the tissue of the fish confirm that histamine is the causative agent.

	CSAHS - CSLS - Fact Sheet
		Urinary histamine metabolites including 1-methyl-histamine and 1-methyl-imidazole acetic acid are raised in conditions where there is increased histamine turnover, and this is generally due to proliferation of Mast Cells or Basophils.
		Blood histamine and 1-methyl-histamine may not be at all raised as histamine is rapidly metabolised and 1-methyl-histamine is rapidly cleared.
		Histamine and metabolites are stable for several days at room temperature in the presence of antibacterial preservatives such as hydrochloric acid and consequently samples may be transported unfrozen.

	What is Histamine
		Histamine is the chemical (neuro-transmitter) your body produces when you're having an allergic reaction.
		Although there is always some histamine in your body, a mosquito bite (for example), causes your body to release more histamine in the area of the bite, making your skin red and itchy.
		In extreme cases, histamine levels in someone who is allergic to a bee sting or a particular food like strawberries can be elevated so high that it causes anaphylactic shock and possibly death.

	Histamine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Histamine is broken down by histamine-N-methyltransferase and diamine oxidase, and is also possibly taken up by a transporter.
		Most tissue histamine is found in granules in mast cells (photo) or basophils.

		Histamine, or 2-(4-imidazolyl)-ethyl-amine, is a dibasic vasoactive amine that is located in most body tissues but is highly concentrated in the lungs, skin, and gastrointestinal tract.

	HON Allergy Glossary Histamine
		When released from mast cells, histamine causes vasodilation and an increase in permeability of blood vessel walls.
		When released in the lungs, histamine causes the airways to swell shut in an attempt to close the door on offending allergens and keep them out.
		Unfortunately, the ultimate result of this response is the wheezing and difficulty in breathing seen in people with asthma - an occasionally deadly allergic complication which kills an estimated 4000 Americans yearly.

	Definition: Histamine
		Histamine - a chemical found in some of the body's cells - causes many of the symptoms of allergies, such as a runny nose or sneezing.
		When a person is allergic to a particular substance, such as a food or dust, the immune system mistakenly believes that this usually harmless substance is actually harmful to the body.
		The histamine then acts on a person's eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, or gastrointestinal tract, causing allergy symptoms.

		The release of histamine (hist = because it's made up of histidine residues, amine = because it's a vasoactive amine) causes several allergic symptoms.
		This is accomplished due to histamine's ability to induce phosphorylation of an intercellular adhesion protein (called (VE)-cadherins) found on vascular endothelial cells.
		That is why histamine is known as being vasoactive.

	Histamine, anxiety and alcoholism
		In the brain, histamine regulates a wide variety of physiological processes, including water and food intake, sleep-wake cycles, endocrine homeostasis, locomotion, and memory and learning.
		In a new study, researchers have found that decreased levels of brain histamine, which are associated with a functional polymorphism of histamine N-methyltransferase (HNMT) called Thr105 allele, may also result in higher levels of anxiety which may, in turn, confer vulnerability to alcoholism.
		"Our explanation of how the altered histamine levels lead to differences in alcoholism vulnerability and alter harm avoidance is hypothetical, based on previous studies addressing the activity of the enzyme," he said.
