Histamine levels in mouse tissues: influence of castration.
The influence of castration on histamine levels in mouse tissues was investigated in Swiss mice. Only in female mice castration led to a significant decrease in the histamine content of dorsal and ventral skin, skeletal muscle and kidney. This effect was found 2 weeks after castration. A long-term study is being presently undertaken.
