Abstract
The administration of histidine is able to prevent and ameliorate tissue and cellular damage which is caused by damaging levels of cytokines and growth factors. It is shown that histidine, when administered in therapeutic quantities is able to inhibit cytokines and growth factors involved in cell and tissue damage. In addition, the method of administering histidine to inhibit these molecules can prevent and ameliorate tissue, vessel and cell damage from restenosis, burns, surgical procedures and other disorders which cause and result from damaged tissues, vessels and cells.
