Abstract

Although histamine since its discovery in 1910 has been courted with enthusiasm by workers in the fields of allergy and of endocrinology, many of the secrets of its physiological and pathological roles lurk evasively in the future. The work recorded here details the findings of some investigations done in an effort to determine the origin of histamine in the tissues.
