Abstract:1The possible temperature-dependent interconversion of histamine Hl-and H2-receptors in the guinea-pig ileum suggested from previous studies was re-investigated by use of new and selective H2-receptor agonists and antagonists. 2 Chlorpheniramine, an H1-blocker, caused a rightward shift of the cumulative histamine doseresponse curve at both 37°C and 12°C. Conversely cimetidine and tiotidine, two H2-receptor blockers, were ineffective at both temperatures. Metiamide behaved as a non competitive antagonist at 12°… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
