title: Brain histamine: rapid apparent turnover altered by restraint and cold stress.
abstract: Histamine content of rat brain was lowered quickly by inhibitors of histidine decarboxylase, suggesting that a portion of brain histamine turns over rapidly. Restraint and exposure to cold also reduced brain histamine levels and markedly augmented its formation in the hypothalamus.
