H2 Receptor-Mediated Positive Inotropic Effect of Histamine in Neonatal Guinea-Pig Left Atria

Abstract: The receptor type mediating the positive inotropic effect of histamine was examined in left atria from neonatal guinea pigs. The positive inotropic effect of histamine, as well as its action potential prolonging effect, was antagonized by ranitidine, but not by chlorpheniramine or thiperamide. The positive inotropic effect was enhanced by isobutylmethylxantine. Receptor binding studies revealed the presence of both H 1 and H 2 receptor types. These results suggest that the positive inotropic effect of histamin… Show more

“…A different situation was found in the left atrium of guinea pigs. In isolated electrically stimulated left atrial preparations from neonatal guinea pigs, the positive inotropic effect of histamine was antagonised by the H 2 R antagonist ranitidine (10 µM), but it was not antagonised by the H 1 R antagonist chlorpheniramine (0.3 µM) or by the H 3 R antagonist thioperamide (1 µM) ( Agata et al, 2010 ). This result suggests that in the right ventricle and left atrium of guinea pig, H 1 R gains a main inotropic role postnatally.…”
