[1] [3] There is a great heterogeneity in the type of foods that are advised against for histamine intolerant individuals, and a review found that exclusion of 32% of foods could be explained by the occurrence of high contents of histamine, while there was a range of excluded foods with an absence or very low levels of biogenic amines including ...
Plasma and urinary histamine levels are frequently elevated in mast cell leukemia. Histidine decarboxylase (HDC) is the enzyme that catalyzes the reaction which produces histamine from histidine. Measurement of histidine carboxylase in the marrow cells of patients with mast cell leukemia is a very sensitive marker of mast cells.
A mast cell (also known as a mastocyte or a labrocyte [1]) is a resident cell of connective tissue that contains many granules rich in histamine and heparin.Specifically, it is a type of granulocyte derived from the myeloid stem cell that is a part of the immune and neuroimmune systems.
DAO levels in the blood circulation increase vastly in pregnant women suggesting a protective mechanism against adverse histamine. [12] Histamine is a potent vasodilator and can cause uterine contractions, which can lead to premature labor. DAO in the placenta breaks down histamine to prevent its accumulation and maintain a healthy pregnancy.
In general, any damage to the liver will cause medium elevations in these transaminases, but diagnosis requires synthesis of many pieces of information, including the patient's history, physical examination, and possibly imaging or other laboratory examinations. However, very high elevations of the transaminases suggests severe liver damage ...
In patients with a deficiency in histamine degradation due to variants in the AOC1 gene that encodes diamine oxidase enzyme, a diet high in histamine has been observed to trigger migraines, that suggests a potential functional relationship between exogenous histamine and CGRP, which could be instrumental in understanding the genesis of diet ...
NMH may have some modulatory effects on histamine signalling, but it is unlikely to cause significant allergic or inflammatory reactions by itself. NMH may also serve as a feedback mechanism to regulate histamine levels and prevent excessive histamine release. [3]
Firstly, biochemical literature [8] has shown that trypsin has a weak ability to liberate histamine, being only effective when present at high concentrations. Fibrolysin is simply unable to release histamine at all per se. [8] Moreover, a quantitative relationship between protease concentration and the amount of histamine released has not been ...
