Histamine release and mast cell alteration in the cat submandibular gland.
Histamine release from cat submandibular gland was studied in vitro under several conditions. Cholinergic drugs and compound 48/80 were effective in the following ranking: acetylcholine less than pilocarpine less than compound 48/80. These results are in agreement with our previous experiments in the intact animal.
