The histamine H2 receptor influences various cardiovascular responses, including vasodilation and cardiac rhythm, regulates gastric acid secretion, and also plays a role in the immune system by inhibiting antibody production, T cell proliferation and cytokine production. Histamine receptors are members of the GPCR family, and H2 mediates cell signaling via internalization and interaction with the GTPase dynamin.

Infectious conditions are associated with reduced food passage through the digestive tract in both mammals and chicks; however, the precise mechanism mediating this response in chicks remains unclear. The purpose of the present study was to determine if mast cells

Exploring the mechanisms of serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)] in the brain requires an in vivo method that combines fast temporal resolution with chemical selectivity. Fast-scan cyclic voltammetry is a technique with sufficient temporal and chemical resolution for probing dynamic 5-HT neurotransmission

Inflammatory reactions play an important role in ischemia/reperfusion injury in various organs. Since histamine is closely related to inflammatory reactions and immune responses, effects of postischemic administration of histaminergic ligands on ischemia-induced liver injury were examined in rats. Animals were
