title: [Blood histamine and response of spleen cells to phytohemagglutinins during moderate magnesium deficiency in the rat].
abstract: Blood histamine and spleen cell stimulation index by PHA were determined in either magnesium deficient or control Rats. Between the 10th and 17th days of diet (hyperemia and dermatosis period), histaminemia was significantly higher in deficient animals (485 ng/ml) than in control ones (112 ng/ml), but at the 32nd day it came back to normal values. The mean spleen cell stimulation index by PHA was depressed in deficient animals mainly between the 10th and 17th day of the deficiency; 33% of control mean value. A negative correlation is found between histamine level and stimulation index.
