Some aspects of molecular mechanism in the regulation of histaminic activity in cell-free systems of sheep brain

  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Abstract

The pattern of enzyme activities get altered in the presence of allergic agent histamine phosphate and an attempt to restore the normal pattern of enzyme occurs in the presence of antihistamines suggesting their interactions at molecular level regulating the metabolism. The regulatory effect of these antihistamines are more pronounced in heterogeneous environment at homogenate pH than at optimum pH.
