    Summary · context
    In this study we have compared the histamine-releasing potential of four approved and marketed antagonists, degarelix, cetrorelix, abarelix and ganirelix in an ex vivo model of human skin samples.
    Summary · context
    Human skin samples were obtained during cosmetic plastic surgery and kept in oxygenated saline solution.
    Summary · context
    The samples were incubated either without or at different concentrations of the antagonists (3, 30 or 300 µg ml(-1) for all, except for ganirelix 1, 10 or 100 µg ml(-1) ).

    In human skin samples, ganirelix caused a nonsignificant histamine-release increase of 81 ± 27% relative to basal release.

    In plain wordsIn lab tests using human skin, ganirelix increased histamine release by 81 ± 27% versus basal release, without statistical significance.
