“The provocative dose of histamine causing a 20% fall in FEV1 increased progressively with increasing concentrations of infused epinephrine , geometric mean values ranging from 0.61 mumol with placebo to 1.7 mumol after the highest dose of epinephrine.”
“ Epinephrine caused a significant elevation in the concentration of histamine required to cause a 35% fall in specific airway conductance (PC35), although this was in part caused by a small airway dilator effect.”
“There is substantial old evidence that epinephrine and isoproterenol, in doses that depress the pentagastrin effect, actually augment that of histamine and cholinomimetics.”

“ Epinephrine antagonizes the action of histamine by acting on effector cells in a direction opposite to that of histamine.”
“The injection into the human body of epinephrine or certain antihistaminic substances provokes the release of histamine and thereby produces a rise in the histamine blood level.”
