When injected intravenously, histamine causes most blood vessels to dilate, and hence causes a fall in the blood pressure.This is a key mechanism in anaphylaxis, and is thought to be caused when histamine releases nitric oxide, endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factors and other compounds from the endothelial cells.
