Abstract:
:In elucidating the possible involvement of histamine (His) in hyperalgesia to heat, the effects of His on the heat response of testicular polymodal receptors were studied in vitro in canine testis-spermatic nerve preparations. His (100 and 1000 microM) induced discharges > 0.5 impulses/s (high-responders) in about one third of units tested. His (> or = 10 microM) facilitated the heat response irrespective of whether His alone induced substantial excitation, and the magnitude of facilitation at 100 microM did not differ between high- and low-responders (His-induced discharges < or = 0.5 impulses/s). Conduction velocity of high-responders at 100 microM (2.2 +/- 0.9 m/s, n = 5) was slower on average than that of low-responders (12.9 +/- 1.6 m/s, n = 9). The sensitizing effect of His reported in this paper suggests that His plays a role in hyperalgesia.
