Henderson daily dispatch., 1940-05-17

It has been supposed that these
reactions are due to the release in
the body Of a substance called CHS
famine" Histamine is found in all
animal tissues, but is fixed chemi-
caIly and only released very slow
ly. 1t can be forced from human
tissue by exposure to cold.
Histaminc has been isolated in
P:;re form. When injected into the
body it produces definite reactions
it Increases the flow o. stomach
juice, relaXes the bronchial muscles
and affects the blood vessels.
When histamine is released in
the body, it is normally destroyed
by an engine called "histaminase."
HlstamInase is now prepared COM
mcrcially and has been found sue
ceSSful in the treatment of these
cases of cold allergy.
1t is not improbable that a num-
Der of conditions of sensitization,
even hay fever, asthma and hives,
may be due to the release of his
famine in the body. With the use
OF hlstaminase we have a remedy
which holds some promise of con-
trolling these conditions.
