Small arteries, which play important roles in controlling blood flow, blood pressure, and
capillary pressure, are under nervous influence. Their innervation is predominantly …

Background and purpose: The endocannabinoid N‐arachidonoylethanolamide
(anandamide) is co‐synthesized with other N‐acylethanolamides, namely N …

Salivary gland homogenates and oil-induced saliva of the mosquito Aedes aegypti dilate the
rabbit aortic ring and contract the guinea pig ileum. The vasodilatory activity is endothelium …

Capsaicin, the main ingredient responsible for the hot pungent taste of chilli peppers, is an
alkaloid found in the Capsicum family. Capsaicin was traditionally used for muscular pain …

Capsaicin, the active substance in chilli peppers, activates the vanilloid type 1 receptor
(VR1) rather than the vanilloid‐like receptor (VRL1) in the trigeminal ganglion and nucleus …

Recent preclinical data indicate that activators of transient receptor potential channels of the
vanilloid receptor subtype 1 (TRPV 1) may improve the outcome of ischaemic acute kidney …

We and others have previously demonstrated that pretreatment with capsaicin produces an
augmentation of vasoconstrictor responses to transmural nerve stimulation. In the present …

This thesis is based on the following papers, which will be referred to by their Roman
numerals. I. Franco-Cereceda A, Källner G, Lundberg JM: Capsazepine-sensitive release of …

The effect of sympathetic nerve stimulation and topical application of substance P and
calcitonin gene-related peptide on the blood flow of the exposed rat knee joint capsule was …
