The present study shows that systemic capsaicin in adult rats results in a significant loss of
axons in the subepidermal nerve plexus of the posterior leg but no loss of axons in the sural …

The morphological effects of systemic capsaicin treatment have been studied in adult rats.
Light and electron microscopy revealed that a subpopulation of small-to-medium sized B …

Capsaicin has now been shown to have a neurotoxic action on C-fibres in adult rodents and
several other mammalian species. In the adult the effect is preferentially on nociceptive C …

Capsaicin applied to the soma of fast and slow conducting primary afferent fibers had a
depolarizing action associated with an increase in membrane conductance. The …

Systemic capsaicin treatment of neonatal and adult rats is known to affect unmyelinated
afferents. However, the systemic route of administration presents several disadvantages and …

Over the past several decades capsaicin, a natural product of certain species of red pepper,
has been found to have a broad range of physiological effects in adult animals. Recent …

The effects of capsaicin, the major pungent ingredient of hot peppers, were assessed on
sensory neuron neuropeptide levels and on sensory function in the adult guinea pig …

Capsaicin, a neurotoxin which acts specifically on sensory primary afferent C-fibres was
applied locally to one sciatic nerve of a group of rats. One to sixteen days following this a …

The numbers of myelinated and unmyelinated fibers were counted in dorsal roots of adult
rats treated neonatally with capsaicin in doses ranging from 5 to 100 mg/kg. Substance P …
