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 …

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 …

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

We have investigated the effect of capsaicin on Ca2+ release from the intracellular calcium
stores. Intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+] i) was measured in rat dorsal root …

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 …

The response to capsaicin in functional assays suggests multiple sites of capsaicin action.
This hypothesis is supported by the results of the present patch-clamp study of isolated …

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 …

The effects of capsaicin (CAPS; 30 nM, 300 nM, 3 μM) and acidic solutions (pH 6.6, 6.1, 5.6,
5.1) were studied in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons from adult rats in short term culture …

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 …
