Histamine and histamine methyltransferase (HMT) were measured in gastric mucosa from 110 patients with duodenal ulcer and 62 control subjects. Both antral and fundic mucosa had similar levels of HMT activity despite antral mucosa containing significantly less histamine. Patients with duodenal ulcer had significantly lower levels of fundic mucosal HMT activity and lower concentrations of fundic mucosal histamine than control subjects. Men who were cigarette smokers had significantly lower concentrations of fundic mucosal histamine (but not HMT) than nonsmokers and, as there was an excess of cigarette smokers among patients with duodenal ulcer, this may be the explanation for the reduced concentrations of fundic mucosal histamine in these patients.
