1 Capsaicin and protons cause excitation and sensitization of primary nociceptive afferents.
In a subset of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurones, which probably represent nociceptive …

Capsaicin excites a subset of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons by inducing an inward
current. We have examined this inward current in response to high concentrations of protons …

Capsaicin (1 μM) evoked [Ca2+] i transients in two-thirds of a Percoll-gradient enriched
population of rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurones. Amongst the capsaicin-sensitive …

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 …

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 …

The action of capsaicin (CAP) on the total Ca 2+ current was examined in internally perfused
voltage-clamped dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurones of guinea pigs. CAP changed the …

The effect of capsaicin on voltage-activated calcium currents was investigated in
voltageclamped somata of cultured adult rat dorsal root ganglion neurons. About half the …

1 The effects of capsaicin on voltage‐gated Ca2+ currents (ICa), and intracellular Ca2+
concentrations ([Ca2+] i) in cultured dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurones of the rat were …

Capsaicin evokes a membrane current in trigeminal ganglion neurons that is increased
substantially in a moderately acidic extracellular environment. Using excised outside-out …

1. Microfluorometric Ca2+ measurements using FURA-2 and whole cell patch-clamp
recordings were performed to investigate the Ca2+ permeability of ion channels underlying …
