Abstract		Histamine is a biogenic amine known as a primary mediator of allergic reactions. In brain, its role involves neurotransmission. Researches in the field of histamine pharmacokinetics have shown that antidepressants modify the pharmacokinetics of exogenous histamine in cats and rats. They decrease elevated histamine concentrations in plasma after an injection of exogenous histamine. Consequently, animals which have not been treated with antidepressants have significantly elevated histamine concentrations after an intravenous injection of this amine. In order to determine the extent to which blood cells participate in the modification of exogenous histamine kinetics, in vitro tests were performed on cat blood. After taking blood samples, the plasma was separated from blood cells and exogenous histamine and two antidepressants, amitriptyline and sertraline, were added to the blood cells in vitro. The concentration of histamine in the samples was determined spectroflourometrically, while methylhistamine was determined using HPLC. The results indicate that both amitriptyline and sertraline in vitro increase the reuptake of exogenous histamine in cat blood cells, although the effect of sertraline is more significant than that of amitriptyline.
Summary		Histamin je biogeni amin in je znan kot primarni mediator pri alergijskih reakcijah. V možganih ima funkcijo živčnega prenašalca. Raziskave na področju farmakokinetike histamina so pokazale, da antidepresivi spremenijo farmakokinetiko eksogenega histamina pri mački in podgani, in sicer zmanjšajo porast koncentracije histamina v plazmi po vbrizganju eksogenega histamina, zaradi katerega se pri živalih, ki niso tretirane z antidepresivi, pojavi močno zvišana koncentracija histamina po intravenskem vbrizganju tega amina. Da bi ugotovili, v kolikšni meri pri spremembi kinetike eksogenega histamina zaradi delujočega antidepresiva sodelujejo krvne celice, smo naredili in vitro poskuse na mačji krvi. Po odvzemu krvi iz mačke smo ločili plazmo od krvnih celic in celicam in vitro dodajali eksogeni histamin in antidepresiva amitriptilinin in sertralin. Koncentracijo histamina v vzorcih smo določali sprektrofluorometrično, metilhistamina pa s HPI,C. Rezultati so pokazali, da tako amitriptilin kot sertralin in vitro povečata privzem eksogenega histamina v krvne celice mačke. Učinek sertralina na privzem histamina je večji od učinka amitriptilina.
