== Inhibitory factors == === Potential treatments === There are several proposed supplements or treatments that might grant temporary mast cell degranulation inhibition: Antioxidants: these are substances that are considered to remove potentially harmful reactive [[oxygen]] species from the body. [[Vitamin C]], [[vitamin A]], [[vitamin E]], and beta-carotene are examples of antioxidants. The properties of such antioxidants have been noted to be capable of reducing blood histamine levels.<ref name="Tettamenti">{{Cite journal | last = Tettamanti|first = L | date = 2018 | title = Different signals induce mast cell inflammatory activity: inhibitory effect of Vitamin E. | url = |journal=J biol regul homeost agents|volume=|pages=|via=}}</ref> The exact mechanisms that cause blood histamine levels to decrease are still unknown. However, antioxidants have been noted to be capable of inhibiting mast cell production and altering the enzymes that form ([[diamine oxidase]]) or breakdown (histidine decarboxylase) histidine. Phototherapy: UVA and UVA1 phototherapy has been observed to significantly inhibit histamine release from mast cells and other white blood cells.<ref name="Kronauer2007">{{Cite journal | last = Kronauer | first = C | date = 2007 | title=Influence of UVB, UVA and UVA1 Irradiation on Histamine Release from Human Basophils and Mast Cells In Vitro in the Presence and Absence of Antioxidants | url = |journal=Photochemistry and Photobiology|volume=|pages=|via=}}</ref>
