Özet

Histamine is an endogenous biogenic amine that is synthesized from the basic amino acid histidine. Ability to mimic anaphylaxis is one of the first described functions of histamine and it has been demonstrated that histamine plays a significant role in the regulation of immune system and neuronal function, influences neuronal morphology and is involved in mast cells (MCs) chemotaxis. MCs as histamine releasers, may thus also interact with neuronal function. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the role of histamine on mast cell density and neuronal morphology in the gastrointestinal tract of the mouse.
