Contraction
— ⬆️ capillary permeability
CNS
Stimulation
Triple Response of Lewis
— effects of dermal injection of Histamine
- Red Dot (flush)
- Localized Swelling (wheal)
- Spreading erythema (flare)
H2
— Gs linked
• Location & Responses
Parietal cells (stomach)
– HCl

– Hydralazine
– Isoniazid
– Procainamide
Basal gastric acid secretion
— peak: at night
Mast cells and Basophils
Degranulation
– Histamine release
H3
Presynaptic (CNS)
— inhibition of Histamine Release
Drugs
- Agonists
* Antagonists
Agonists
- Histamine
* Betahistine
– Pulmonary Function Test
– Determine the adequacy of acid secretion (gastric)
Histamine
– H1 agonist
– H3 antagonist
– Mgt of Vertigo
