Abstract

The rate of histamine formation (histamine forming capacity, HFC) was determined in serial sections of the kidney of pregnant mice and in alternate sections the number of glomeruli was assessed. A significant degree of correlation between the number of glomeruli and HFC was found indicating that in the pregnant mouse kidney histidine decarboxylase resides mainly in the cortex.
