Hyperphosphataemia and bone resorption in histamine injected laying hens.
The effects of histamine on bone resorption during eggshell formation, were studied. The study included the effect of histamine on the clearance of 45Ca and 32P from plasma, and on the release from the femur or uptake by the egg shell of 45Ca and 32P injected at the time of the first experiment or 10 hr prior to the experiment (experiment 2). Histamine led to a decrease in the disappearance rates of 45Ca and 32P, without any modification of the femur and egg shell levels. However, the increase in the amount of plasma 32P and the decrease in the 32P specific activity (SA) in bone, both elicited by histamine, argues in favour of the skeletal origin of hyperphosphataemia induced by histamine during egg shell formation.
