Abstract: AIM: To study the effect of histamine on fat synthesis in the differentiated 3T3L1 cell in vitro and its mechanisms.METHODS: The 3T3L1 cells cultured and induced it to white fat cells.The levels of aP2 mRNA in the adipocytes under the treatment of histamine and diphenhydramine were detected by RT-PCR techniques.RESULTS: Histamine increased the expression of aP2 mRNA in the adipocytes, the concentration-dependent effect curve discovered the highest expression of aP2 mRNA was at 20 μmol/L, the time-dependent effect curve discovered the highest expression of aP2 mRNA was at 6 h.Compare with the same concentration of histamine, diphenhydramine decreased the expression of aP2 mRNA(P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Histamine increased the expression of aP2 mRNA in the differentiated 3T3L1 cell.Diphenhydramine inhibited the expression of aP2 mRNA. Histamine can increase the fat synthesis and maintain the balance of energy metabolism in the white adipocytes.

Key words: Histamine, Fat synthesis, aP2 mRNA
