Discrete lesions in the anterior hypothalamus (AHA) of the guinea pig brain reduce the anaphylactic contraction of the trachea in vitro after active in vivo sensitization by 40%. This difference in anaphylactic contraction does not correlate with a difference in homocytotropic antibodies but coincides with a decreased smooth muscle response to the anaphylactic mediators histamine and leukotriene C4. No difference in the beta-adrenoceptor function of the tracheal preparations can be found. The results suggest that AHA lesions afford protection against anaphylaxis in actively sensitized guinea pigs at least in part through a reduced smooth muscle response to anaphylactic mediators.
