Effect of agonists specific to histamine receptor subtypes (H1R, [A]; H2R, [B]; H3R, [C]; and H4, [D]) on goblet cell glycoconjugate secretion. Cultured rat goblet cells were incubated with agonists specific to histamine receptor subtypes (10−7–10−4 M) for 2 hours. Glycoconjugate secretion was measured by enzyme-linked lectin assay. Data are mean ± SEM of four (4-methylhistamine) or five (histamine dimaleate, amthamine, and α-methylhistamine) independent experiments. * indicates statistical significance from no addition (0).
