To investigate the effect of histamine (8 mkg/kg, i/v) on the concentration of lipids in the rats bile. Using the method of thin layer chromatography concentrations of phospholipids, cholesterol and its esters, free fatty acids, triglycerides were determined in the rats bile collected in acute experiments (anesthesia, sodium thiopental, 50 mg/kg). The results were calculated using Statistica 7.0; p<0,05. Histamine increased concentration of phospholipids, cholesterol, its esters and reduced content of free fatty acids and triglycerides in the rats bile. Probably, histamine, acting on transport lipid components in bile effect on its physical and chemical properties and the maintenance of cholesterol in mixed bile micelles. Histamine affects the metabolic conversion and transport of lipids in the liver cells, causing the increase in the concentration of phospholipids, cholesterol and its esters in bile and decrease it in the content of free fatty acids and triglycerides.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
