Approach: The cohort comprised of six groups (Group I control and Group II-VI treated) containing five rabbits each. Control-group received vehicle (sterile distilled water) and treated groups received subcutaneous histamine (100 µg kg-1 × b.i.d.) and H1R-agonist (HTMT dimaleate), H2R-agonist (amthamine dihydrobromide), H3R-agonist (R-(-)-α-methylhistamine dihydrobromide) and H4R-agonist (clobenpropit dihydrobromide) each in a dose of 10 µg kg-1 × b.i.d. Hepatotoxicity due to these agonists analyzed by using histopathological and biochemical methods. Results: Rabbits treated with drugs in group II-VI had significant elevated levels of serum enzymes (alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase and bilirubin) (p
