Özet

Morphine is known to release histamine from mast cells and increase the turnover of neuronal histamine. It is also known that histamine receptors mediate some of the morphine effects. The contribution of histamine H-1 and H-2 receptors to the thermoregulatory effect of morphine in mice was investigated in the present experiments. Morphine produced a hypothermic effect, especially at the dose of 10 mg/kg. Although the histamine H-1 receptor antagonist, dimethindene (0.1 mg/kg, i.p.), attenuated the hypothermic effect of morphine (10 mg/kg), a histamine H-2 receptor antagonist, ranitidine (100 mg/kg, i.p.), had no effect. These results suggest that the hypothermic effect of morphine in mice is mediated, at least partly, through histamine H-1 receptors.
