The H3 receptor agonist exhibits all of the following actions except:

A
Inhibition of H1 receptor induced wakefulness
B
Increase in H1 mediated gastrin secretion
C
Inhibition of H1 mediated bronchoconstriction
D
Negative chronotropic effect on atria
High-Yield Explanation
Ans. (B) Increase in H1 mediated gastrin secretion(Ref: KDT 6th/e p153)H3 receptors act as pre-synaptic receptors and decrease the release of histamine and other neurotransmitters. These antagonize H1 mediated wakefulness and bronchoconstriction. These also decrease gastrin release and produce negative chronotropic effect. Inverse agonist of H3 receptor (tiprolisant) is approved for Narcolepsy.
