Abstract
SZEBEHELY and co-workers1 ascertained that in mice desensitized with histamine the basal metabolic rate rose much less after thyroxine administration than in mice not so desensitized. Antihistamines were too toxic, and so they could not demonstrate convincingly that their effect was similar to that of histamine desensitization.
