Histaminabbaus
Histaminabbau refers to the breakdown of histamine in the body. Histamine is a biogenic amine involved in various physiological processes, including immune responses, neurotransmission, and gastric acid secretion. While essential, excessive histamine can lead to adverse effects. The body has specific enzymes responsible for its degradation.
The primary enzyme involved in histamine metabolism is diamine oxidase (DAO), also known as aminoxidase or histaminase.
Another enzyme that plays a role in histamine breakdown, particularly in the brain, is histamine N-methyltransferase
Disruptions in histamine breakdown can contribute to various health issues. For instance, a deficiency in DAO
