Studying the visceral effects of the sensory stimulant capsaicin is a useful and relatively
simple tool of neurotransmitter identification and has been used for this purpose for …

Capsaicin (1 μM) produced a biphasic effect on the motility of longitudinal muscle strips from
human jejunum eg an initial inhibitory effect on nerve-mediated contractions followed by a …

The contractile effect of capsaicin in the guinea-pig small intestine involves an activation of
enteric cholinergic neurons. Our present data show that the P2 purinoceptor antagonist …

The sensory neuron stimulant drug capsaicin stimulates primary afferent nerve endings in
the guinea-pig small intestine, which in turn activate myenteric cholinergic neurons by an …

Abstract Capsaicin (1 μM) produced, after an initial contraction, a depression of the field
stimulation-induced contraction of the guinea-pig isolated ileal longitudinal muscle. Both …

Capsaicin, the pungent ingredient of chilli peppers has become a “hot” topic in neuroscience
with yearly publications over half thousand papers. It is outlined in this survey how this …

We owe to N. Jancso'and his co-workers the discovery that animals treated with capsaicin
become, after an initial intense excitation of sensory neurons, unresponsive to noxious …

It was only by the middle of this century that the extent of the sensory innervation of visceral
organs including the gastrointestinal tract was revealed. Quantitative analysis showed that …

The atropine-resistant contractile action of the sensory stimulant drug capsaicin was
examined on guinea-pig ileum circular muscle in vitro, with special regard to the …

Circular strips of the rat gastric corpus muscle were mounted in Krebs solution for isometric
tension recording. Addition of capsaicin usually led to either relaxation or contraction, but in …
