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 …

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 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 …

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 …

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

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 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 …

neurones in culture Page 1 Capsazepine block of voltage-activated calcium channels in adult …

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 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 …
