Relationship between vasoconstriction and histamine induced vasodilation.

P R Carroll, I R Neering

    The Australian Journal of Experimental Biology and Medical Science
    |April 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Histamine causes significant vasodilation in rabbit arteries, particularly when constricted by noradrenaline. This suggests histamine influences intracellular calcium mobilization through multiple pathways, impacting blood vessel tone.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology
    • Cardiovascular Physiology
    • Vascular Biology

    Background:

    • Vascular tone is regulated by various vasoactive substances.
    • Histamine is a known vasodilator, but its precise mechanisms, especially in relation to intracellular calcium, require further elucidation.
    • Noradrenaline, caffeine, and barium are agents that affect vascular smooth muscle contraction through different pathways, including calcium signaling.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the differential effects of histamine-induced vasodilation on rabbit ear arteries constricted by noradrenaline, caffeine, or barium.
    • To explore the potential mechanisms by which histamine modulates intracellular calcium mobilization in vascular smooth muscle.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized isolated rabbit ear arteries.
    • Applied constrictors: noradrenaline, caffeine, and barium.
    • Administered histamine to induce vasodilation.
    • Quantified and compared the degree of vasodilation under different constriction conditions.

    Main Results:

    • Histamine induced significantly greater vasodilation in arteries constricted by noradrenaline compared to those constricted by caffeine or barium.
    • Histamine-induced vasodilation was also significantly greater in the presence of caffeine than in the presence of barium.
    • These findings indicate distinct interactions between histamine and the cellular mechanisms activated by the other agents.

    Conclusions:

    • Histamine-mediated vasodilation is influenced by the underlying mechanism of vasoconstriction.
    • The results suggest that histamine employs at least two distinct mechanisms to modify intracellular calcium mobilization.
    • These findings contribute to understanding the complex regulation of vascular tone by histamine.
