title: Characteristics of deoxycholic acid-induced histamine release from mast cells of guinea-pig rectocolonic mucosa and rat peritoneal cavity.
abstract: Deoxycholic acid (DA) caused a dose-related release of histamine (HR) from mast cells of rat peritoneum (RPMC) and mucosal cells of guinea pig rectocolon (RCMC). In both cell populations, DA-induced HR was: (1) accompared by a parallel release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), (2) not affected by metabolic inhibitors, (3) dependent on time of incubation, temperature and pH, and affected by Ca++ concentration in RPMC but not in RCMC. DA-induced HR from RCMC may be involved in certain functional disorders of the colon.
