What is The Role of Brain Histamine in Acute and Chronic Stresses about?
As a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator, brain histamine has a variety of physiological roles in brain functions. Acute stress increases the histamine turnovers in the diencephalon, nucleus accumbens and striatum. Histamine regulates anterior pituitary hormones. Anxiolytic drugs also decrease brain histamine turnover. Histamine Hl receptor antagonists and H3 receptor agonists decrease the anxiety state. These findings show that acute stresses increase brain histamine turnover, especially in the diencephalon, which would be partly related to the pathology of anxiety. Moreover, chronic restraint stress continued to increase the histamine turnovers in the nucleus accumbens and striatum, not in the diencephalon. Chronic administration of psychostimulants also increase the striatal histamine release. Histamine agonists prevent psychostimulant-induced behavior and the development of behavioral sensitization. These results indicate that chronic stress continues to increase the histamine turnovers in the nucleus accumbens and striatum, which would have a role of preventing stress vulnerability. Moreover, histamine H3 receptor antagonists have antidepressive effects. Therefore, no increase
