ABSTRACT
Histamine was extracted from deproteinized plasma with Amberlite CG 50 weak cation-exchange resin (analytical recovery of [3H]histamine, 60.5%). The eluate was evaporated and histamine in the redissolved sample was condensed with o-phthalaldehyde and 2-mercaptoethanol at pH 11.5. This adduct was separated by liquid chromatography under isocratic conditions and oxidized on a glassy carbon electrode at +0.4 V for electrochemical detection. 3-Methylhistamine was used as internal standard. As little as 0.45 pmol of standard histamine condensate was detected. The histamine concentration in 88 human plasma samples appeared to be normally distributed; its mean value was 7.20 (SD 2.61) nmol/L. Authentic and extracted histamine produced similar hydrodynamic voltammograms, and exogenous and endogenous histamine gave identical chromatographic characteristics with different mobile phases or different chromatographic columns. Standard and extracted histamine had similar degradation rates when samples were incubated with diamine oxidase (EC 1.4.3.6). Analytical recovery of known amounts of histamine added to pooled plasma was 97.7% (SD 22.3%). The inter- and intra-assay CVs for histamine determinations were 9.0% and 8.6%, respectively.
