Abstract
Abstract Histamine release from rat lung tissue and degranulation of rat mesentery mast cells were produced in vitro by Compound 48/80. Both processes were shown to be blocked by anoxia and by inhibitors of oxidative phosphorylation. Preincubation with glucose counteracted this inhibition. The results indicate that histamine release and mast cell degranulation require energy which can derive from glucose metabolism.
