Abstract
In the presence of mouse plasma, lysophosphatidylserine stimulates histamine secretion from isolated mast cells. The extensive modification of carbohydrate metabolism produced by lysophosphatidylserine in mice was largely prevented by the antihistaminic drug, pyrilamine. However, to prevent completely the change in carbohydrate metabolism induced by lysophosphatidylserine the administration of an antihistamine and an adrenoceptor antagonist was required. It is concluded that the effect of lysophosphatidylserine in mice is due to release of intracellular amines. Histamine and catecholamines are involved.
