Abstract
Social stress of crowding for 3, 7, 14 and 21 days drastically reduces the serum corticosterone response to intracerebroventricular administration of dimaprit, a histamine H2-receptor agonist, moderately diminishes the response to pyridylethylamine, an H1-receptor agonist, and does not change significantly the corticosterone response to histamine. These results suggest that social stress of crowding considerably desensitizes central histamine H2-receptors involved in stimulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.Entities:
