Yes. Mast cells contain histamine. When exposed to allergens, the membranes of the cell degrade, releasing histamine and causing what are typically recognized as allergic responses, such as hives, runny eyes, nose, sneezing, facial edema, etc. One approach to preventing allergic histamine release - while at the same time not impairing the healthy histamine pathway - is to use plant-based foods/medicines that contain constituents with mast-cell-strengthening properties. Some of these are green tea, rosemary, turmeric, and grape seed. Bioflavanoid supplements such as quercetin are helpful, and quercetin is found in many of the plants that strengthen mast cell membranes.

What cells release histamine How does the body respond to the release of histamine?
Much of the histamine in the body is produced by the granules in mast cells and basophils as part of a local immune response to the presence of invading bodies.
How does a common cold virus affect the nose?
the cold virus attaches itself to the lining of the nasal passages and sinuses. This causes the infected cells to release a chemical called histamine. Histamine increases the blood flow to the infected cells, causing swelling, congestion
Which leukocytes release histamine during the inflammatory response?
Actualy white blood cells release histamine.
What type of white blood cells produce histamine?
Basophils are circulating white blood cells that release histamine, but mast cells also do so.
What cells release histamine during allergic responses?
Basophil
White blood cells that release histamine at the site of an injury are?
Basophils.
Can you give me sentences using the word mast cells?
Mast cells degranulate to release histamine.
Do mast cells release histamine as a result of the allergen-antibody reaction?
Yes
Factors controlling secretion of the stomach?
The parietal cell in the stomach secrets gastric acid, which is hydrochloric acid (HCl). The Secretion of HCl by the parietal cell is stimulated by receptors for acetylcholine (muscarinic), histamine, and gastrin. The enterochromaffin cells (ECL) also have gastrin receptors and muscarinic receptors. ECL cells release histamine which reacts with H2 receptors (histamine 2 receptors) on parietal cells. Somatostatin is released by delta cells and decreases histamine release by ECL cells.
Mast cells release chemicals known as what?
Mast cells release histamines which will dilate small blood vessels during inflammation.
The antibody that becomes bound to mast cells and basophils and causes the cells to release histamine and other chemicals is?
lgE
What cells of the dermis release histamine and play a role in the hypersensitivity reactions of the skin?
mast cell
