Capsaicin (CAP) excites small sensory neurons, causing pain, neurogenic inflammation,
and other visceral reflexes. These effects have been proposed to be the result of CAP …

Capsaicin (CAP), a neurotoxin, has been reported to activate a nonselective cation current
in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. In this paper, we identify and describe the properties …

Capsaicin (CAP)-activated ion channel plays a key role in generating nociceptive neural
signals in sensory neurons. Here we present evidence that intracellular ATP upregulates the …

Capsaicin acts specifically on a subset of primary afferent sensory neurons to open cation-
selective ion channels, probably by interacting directly with a membrane receptor-ion …

1 Responses to capsaicin in isolated sensory neurones have been shown to desensitize in
a Ca2+‐and voltage‐dependent manner. We have studied desensitization of capsaicin …

The selective excitant and neurotoxic action of capsaicin on vagal sensory neurons in the rat
has been investigated in vitro using three techniques: extracellular recording of compound …

Capsaicin (Cap) is a pungent extract of the Capsicum pepper family, which activates
nociceptive primary sensory neurons. Inward current and membrane potential responses of …

Capsaicin activates a non-specific cation conductance in mammalian sensory neurones. If
capsaicin is applied continuously or repeatedly then there is a progressive decline in …

Vyklický, Ladislav, Helena Knotková-Urbancová, Zdeňka Vitásková, Viktorie Vlachová,
Michaela Kress, and Peter W. Reeh. Inflammatory mediators at acidic pH activate capsaicin …

Capsaicin, the pungent ingredient in hot pepper, activates nociceptors to produce pain and
inflammation. However, repeated exposures of capsaicin will cause desensitization to …
