In Vivo | Histamine phosphate (0.025 mg/kg) produces a mean increase in basilar blood flow of 145% of control in dogs. Histamine phosphate produces considerable increases in basilar blood flow as well as a decrease in femoral arterial blood pressure in dogs when injected intravenously and measured with an electromagnetic flow transducer. Histamine phosphate (4 μg/kg) causes lymph flow to increase from 6.0 to 27.0 (SEM) ml/h in unanesthetized sheep. Histamine phosphate (4 μg/kg) also causes increases in lung water, pulmonary vascular resistance, arterial PCO2, pH, and hematocrit, and decreases in cardiac output and arterial PO2 in unanesthetized sheep. Histamine phosphate (8.3 mg/kg/min) causes no significant change in pulmonary lymph flow (QL) or protein concentration (CL) in anesthetized open-chested dogs, however, both are increased after alloxan. Histamine phosphate (8.3 mg/kg/min) also causes no significant change in the pulmonary capillary membrane filtration coefficient (Kf) and the maximum capillary pressure (PCcritical) in anesthetized open-chested dogs. Histamine phosphate (50 mg/kg) produces a pronounced rise in acid secretion but the output of pepsin remained unchanged in the unanaesthetized intact rat. Histamine phosphate (50 mg/kg) produces maximal stimulation of gastric acid secretion and is free from toxic effects in the unanaesthetized intact rat. |
