Histamine is implicated in several reproductive functions. Correlation between histamine metabolism and sex hormones has been a matter of interest for many years. Urinary histamine excretion has been studied under various experimental conditions in different species. In man it was reported, that the urinary excretion of histamine and/or methylhistamine in women was correlated to the excretion of oestrogen. Very little is known about the condition in man with intersex. The case reported here shows that histamine and methylhistamine excretion in urine in a patient with testicular feminizing syndrome is unaffected by castration.
组胺与多种生殖功能有关。多年来,组胺代谢与性激素之间的相关性一直是人们感兴趣的问题。在不同物种的各种实验条件下,对尿组胺排泄进行了研究。据报道,在人类中,女性尿中组胺和/或甲基组胺的排泄与雌激素的排泄相关。对于两性畸形患者的情况了解甚少。本文报道的病例表明,睾丸女性化综合征患者尿中组胺和甲基组胺的排泄不受阉割的影响。
