Biphasic elevation of plasma histamine induced by water immersion stress, and their sources in rats.

Abstract:

:The effect of water immersion stress on the plasma concentration of histamine, in Wistar and mast cell-deficient (Ws/Ws) rats, was investigated. The histamine content of the plasma, skin and gastric mucosa, as well as the level of activity of histidine decarboxylase in the gastric mucosa, were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-fluorometry. In Wistar rats exposed to water immersion stress for a total of 6 h, an initial, acute, four-fold, transient increase in the plasma histamine level, followed by a sustained, though lower, elevation of the plasma histamine level, was observed. The initial acute increase in plasma histamine level was also seen in gastrectomized Wistar rats exposed to water immersion stress, but not in Ws/Ws rats exposed to stress. The sustained elevation of the plasma histamine level was observed in the Ws/Ws rats. However, in both the gastrectomized Wistar rats and gastrectomized Ws/Ws rats, the sustained elevation in plasma histamine level was not observed. The histamine content of the skin of Wistar rats after 15 min or more exposure to water immersion stress, was 20% lower than that of control rats. The mucosal histamine content of both Wistar rats and Ws/Ws rats, was 20% lower, whereas histidine decarboxylase activity in the gastric mucosa was enhanced by two-fold, during exposure to stress for 4 h. These findings indicate that water immersion stress causes a biphasic increase in plasma histamine concentration in Wistar rats; the initial acute increase in plasma histamine level originates from mast cells, and the second, sustained increase is attributed to enterochromaffin-like cells.
