Role of Histamine in the Actions of Neuropeptides and Local Hormones

  • Chapter
Histamine and Histamine Antagonists

Part of the book series: Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology ((HEP,volume 97))

Abstract

The major emphasis of this chapter is the contribution of histamine to the actions of neuropeptides. Over the past 10 years the study of neuropeptides has become one of the major areas of physiological research and has led to a new understanding of the complexities of the nervous system. The modern field of neuropeptide research had its beginnings with the isolation and structural characterization of the oldest neuropeptide, substance P, in the early 1970s. This was rapidly followed by discoveries of a number of other peptides which were present in the brain and peripheral tissues.
