The immune system is considered to be self-contained, being regulated by a variety of
intrinsic processes. Modulation of the immune response by the endocrine, central, and …

1 Recently we have found that inhibition of bradykinin‐induced synovial plasma
extravasation by transcutaneous electrical stimulation at strengths which excite …

The effect of capsaicin treatment on the immune response, assessed as antibody formation
in vivo and in vitro, was studied in ovalbumin (OA)-immunized rates. Rats were treated with …

Neonatal capsaicin treatment has previously been shown to diminish the primary antibody
response of adult rats to the subcutaneously administered T-dependent antigen, sheep red …

Guinea pigs were treated with 125–150 μg capsaicin intracisternally (ic) or intraperitoneally
(ip). Tested up to one week later, ic-treated animals showed reduced behavioral responses …

The physiological and behavioral disturbances observed during an infection can be
reproduced by systemic administration of proinflammatory cytokines (eg, interleukin (IL)-1, IL …

1. We investigated whether afferent nerves are involved in the development of
adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) responses induced either by systemic administration …

The direct and indirect interaction between the nervous and the immune systems was
evaluated in the rat using the neurotoxin capsaicin. Capsaicin treatment of neonatal rats (50 …

Nerves immunoreactive for the peptides substance P, neurokinin A, calcitonin gene-related
peptide or cholecystokinin-octapeptide innervate the uterine cervix in the rat. Nerve …

Capsaicin enhances adrenal medullary catecholamine secretion. The participation of the
central nervous system on this enhancement by capsaicin was investigated in alpha …
