title: The influence of H1-, H2- and H3-receptors on the spontaneous and ConA induced histamine release from human adenoidal mast cells.
abstract: The effects of the H3-agonist R-alpha-methylhistamine (R-alpha-MeHA) and the H3-antagonist thioperamide on the spontaneous and concanavalin A (ConA) induced histamine release from human mast cells were tested and compared with the effect of some H1- and H2-receptor active substances. R-alpha-MeHA (10(-9)-10(-7) M) exerted no effect on histamine release whereas thioperamide increased the spontaneous release at 10(-6)-10(-4) M but inhibited the ConA induced release in a narrow concentration range (10(-6)-10(-5) M). This enhancement might be taken as an indication of the existence of H3-receptor dependent autoregulation although presently other mechanism cannot be excluded.
