Abstract
Albino rats fed on 30% ethyl alcohol for 60 days demonstrated significant reduction in the histamine concentration of the gastric wall, estimated by bio-assay, as well as in the gastric mucosal mast cell population. It can, therefore be concluded that alcohol liberates histamine from the gastric mast cells even in the presence of alcohol-induced gastritis.
