Abstract
Albino rats were subjected to rapid decompression from high ambient pressure (6 atm). The mean levels of histamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine in skin, ileum, lung, and brain were measured. They showed no significant change as compared to a nondecompressed control group even when decompression time was short enough to cause immediate death. The decompression also failed to produce any changes in the morphological appearance of the mesenteric mast cells.
