Detailed explanation-1: -Histamine shows a dichotomous nature, whereby it is able to promote inflammatory and regulatory responses that contribute to pathological processes, such as allergy induction, as well as homeostatic functions, such as intestinal regulation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Histamine is not only the major mediator of the acute inflammatory and immediate hypersensitivity responses, but has also been demonstrated to affect chronic inflammation and regulate several essential events in the immune response.
Detailed explanation-3: -Histamine is a chemical created in the body that is released by white blood cells into the bloodstream when the immune system is defending against a potential allergen. This release can result in an allergic reaction from allergy triggers such as pollen, mold, and certain foods.
Detailed explanation-4: -Mast Cells: Source of Histamine Activation through these receptors by their respective stimulants, such as allergens, complement peptides C3a, C5a (25, 26), NGF (27), neuropeptides, adenosine mono-phosphate activate human cord blood-derived mast cells to release various inflammatory mediators including histamine.
