Histaminergic Regulation of Smooth Muscles in Rabbit Pulmonary Arteries

  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Abstract

Histaminergic contractile reactions of smooth muscles in rabbit lobar pulmonary arteries were studied using in vitro mechanographic technique. Histamine via activation of H-receptors induced a dose-dependent constriction of smooth muscle segments, while endothelium inhibited histamine-induced contractile reactions. Histamine increased sensitivity of smooth muscle cells in pulmonary artery to sodium nitroprusside.
