Histamine: a role in normal drinking.
Little is known about the physiological mechanisms that control normal drinking and, in particular, drinking around mealtime. This problem has recently been penetrated by experiments evaluating a role for histamine in drinking elicited by eating. This work supports the hypothesis of a preabsorptive, pregastric, vagally-mediated, histaminergic component of drinking elicited by eating in the rat.
