The intracerebroventricular injection of the mast cell degranulator, compound 48/80 (C48/80, 10 micrograms/kg), produced a marked behavioural syndrome in rats which included head and body shakes, paw tremor, excessive grooming, unusual posture and gait, mild diarrhoea, piloerection, extreme agitation and irritability to touch, sedation and catatonia. Fifteen minutes after C48/80, the histamine concentrations were decreased significantly in all brain regions examined, i.e. the cortex, cerebellum, midbrain, medulla oblongata-pons (MO-P) and hypothalamus. The noradrenaline (NA) concentrations were decreased in the cerebellum, hypothalamus and MO-P, whereas the dopamine (DA) content was decreased in the MO-P only. The concentrations of serotonin were not affected. As such, the behaviours following the acute degranulation of brain mast cells by C48/80 may result predominantly from the release of histamine and possibly NA and DA.
