A role of central histamine in the preoptic area/anterior hypothalamus (POA/AH) for the regulation of hyperthermia-induced polypnea was examined in anesthetized, paralyzed, vagotomized and artificially ventilated rabbits. Phrenic nerve activities were recorded to monitor respiratory neuronal output. Hyperthermia increased respiratory frequency by reductions of inspiratory time (T(I)) and expiratory time (T(E)). Pyrilamine, an H1 receptor antagonist, which was applied to the POA/AH reduced polypnea under hyperthermia. The effect of S+alpha-fluoromethylhistidine, a specific inhibitor of histidine decarboxylase, applied in a lateral ventricle was comparable to the effect of pyrilamine on polypnea. Moreover, histamine dihydrochloride applied into the POA/AH at a normal body temperature produced polypnea by reductions of T(I) and T(E). The results suggest that central histamine in the POA/AH contributes to the generation of polypnea in hyperthermia through H1 receptors.
