Abstract

The effects of intracerebroventricular (icv) injection of histamine (HA, 0.4 μmol/rat) or of the inhibitor of HA synthesisα-fluoromethylhistidine (αFMH, 100 mg/kg, intracarotid (ia)) on growth hormone (GH) secretion induced by GH-releasing hormone (hGHRH1–40, 2 μg/kg, ia) in freely moving rats were examined. HA significantly inhibited GH release induced by GHRH whereas pretreatment (3 h before) with αFMH enhanced the GH response to GHRH.
