inhibiting prostaglandins (and capillary permeability, infiltration of leukocytes)

A

Anti-inflammatory

47
Q

inhibiting PGE2 synthesis

A

Anti-pyretic

48
Q

inhibiting PGs sensation effects inside and outside of CNS

49

54
Q

exocytose histamine in response to IgE, through Ca mechanism

A

mast cells and basophils

55
Q

in response to gastrin and vagal stimulation, histamine is release and

within the nervous system

60
Q

all histamine receptors are

A

G-protein coupled

61

H1 effect in hypothalamus

A

increase wakefulness

67
Q

H1 & H2 effects on HR and cardiac arrhythmias (at high concentrations)

A

increase HR and cardiac arrhythmias

68
