Histamine has long been known to be involved in inflammatory events. The discovery of antihistamines dates back to the first half of the 20(th) century when a Swiss-Italian pharmacologist, Daniel Bovet began his work. In 1957 he was awarded a Nobel Prize for his production of antihistamines for allergy relief. Since that time, histamine has been found to play a role in other events besides allergic reaction. Possibly unbelievable to Bovet and his peers, histamine has now been marked as playing a role in liver pathologies including hepatobiliary diseases.
长期以来,人们一直认为组胺与炎症事件有关。抗组胺药的发现可以追溯到20世纪上半叶,当时瑞士-意大利药理学家丹尼尔·博韦开始了他的研究工作。1957年,他因生产用于缓解过敏的抗组胺药而获得诺贝尔奖。从那时起,人们发现组胺除了在过敏反应中起作用外,还在其他事件中发挥作用。也许博韦和他的同行难以置信的是,组胺现在已被认定在包括肝胆疾病在内的肝脏病理中发挥作用。
