title: Effect of prolonged inhibition of histidine decarboxylase on tissue histamine concentrations.
abstract: In rats, chronic infusion of alpha-fluoromethyl histidine, a selective irreversible inhibitor of mammalian histidine decarboxylase, caused a marked depletion of histamine in all tissues examined. There were no gross pharmacological effects associated with this depletion.
