摘要
The present animal studies tested the hypothesis that drug-induced blockade of histamine-1 receptors leads to appetite stimulation. Test agents included the antipsychotic promazine which has very potent antihistaminic effects, as well as the antipsychotic haloperidol and the antidepressant desipramine which both have negligible antihistaminic effects. In support of the hypothesis, significant appetite stimulation occurred only with promazine, while the other two test agents did not increase feeding, and even produced some suppression in food intake. © 1990.
