“…Histaminase activity is reported to be decreased in preeclamptic toxemia, after adrenalectomy, and in subjects with low copper intake Very few studies have been done on plasma and/or tissue histaminase in various malignancies. Increased histaminase activity has been observed in bronchial carcinoma, endometrial carcinoma, small-cell carcinoma of the lung, medullary carcinoma of the thyroid gland, and ovarian carcinoma [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24], but Starr et a1 [25] observed the absence of histaminase in all the tumors except lymph node metastasis of gastric adenocarcinoma.…”

Plasma histaminase activity has been estimated in 79 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix. The mean plasma histaminase value is significantly higher in patients than in controls (P less than 0.001). The plasma histaminase activity falls significantly following radiotherapy (P less than 0.001). Pretreatment plasma histaminase values do not show any correlation with clinical stages and the posttreatment values decline significantly but remain higher in clinical stages III and IV than in stages I and II. The increased plasma histaminase activity also reflects the degree of differentiation within the tumor. Further it is noted that the plasma histaminase value is inversely proportional to the radiation response. It is suggested that estimation of plasma histaminase activity can serve as an important marker in assessing the treatment response and monitoring the course of treatment.

Tyramine oxidase and UDP-glucuronyl transferase activities were determined in 52 diseased livers obtained by needle biopsy. 14 liver specimens were also subjected to acetyl CoA carboxylase determination. Tyramine oxidase level was elevated in livers with nonalcoholic fatty change or toxic hepatitis, and reduced in livers with fibrosis or chronic alcoholic injury. UDP-glucuronyl transferase activity was reduced in livers with severe parenchymal damage or hyperbilirubinemia. Acetyl CoA carboxylase activity decreased markedly in an active alcoholic cirrhotic liver, and was elevated in alcoholic fatty livers as well as in a liver with acute venous stasis.
