  • Title: Calcium-dependent histidine and histamine release from superfused synaptosomes.
    Author: Tikkanen T, Raatikainen O, Tuomisto L.
    Journal: Agents Actions; 1990 Apr; 30(1-2):220-2. PubMed ID: 1695444.
    Abstract:
    The release of radioactive histidine and histamine was studied in a superfusion system by using guinea pig synaptosomes which were preloaded with 3H-histidine. Depolarization by 50 mM K+ induced a simultaneous release of histidine and histamine. The stimulated release of both of these substances was diminished when calcium was removed. The calcium-dependency of histamine release, previously demonstrated in brain slices, was confirmed using synaptosomes. It was also demonstrated that potassium-induced histidine release from guinea pig synaptosomes under superfusion conditions is at least partially calcium-dependent.
