Abstract:1. The effects of cortisone treatment combined with agents influencing histamine metabolism were studied on the free and total acid output in pylorus ligated guinea-pigs. 2. It was found that reduction in the synthesis of histamine produced by the administration of a-methylDOPA significantly inhibited the acid response to cortisone. 3. Enhancement of the oxidative deamination of histamine brought about by the administration of diamine oxidase or heparin inhibited cortisone induced acid hypersecretion significa… Show more
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.
