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) 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) 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 …

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 …

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

The effects of capsaicin cytosolic Ca 2+ concentration ([Ca 2+] i) were measured in
individual dorsal root ganglion neurons of the rat in culture. Capsaicin produced a rapid …

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 is a pungent pain-producing compound found in plants of the capsicum family; it
exerts excitatory, desensitizing, and toxic effects on a subset of sensory neurons, including …

It is discussed whether capsaicin, an agonist of the pain mediating TRPV1 receptor,
decreases or increases voltage-activated calcium channel (VACC) currents (ICa (V)). ICa (V) …
