This review aims to survey the current state of mechanotransduction in vascular smooth
muscle cells (VSMCs) and endothelial cells (ECs), including their sensing of mechanical …

Today's sedentary lifestyle with too much food and too little exercise has made metabolic
syndrome a pandemic. Metabolic syndrome is a major risk factor for type-2 diabetes and …

TRPV1, a capsaicin-and heat-activated ion channel, is expressed by peripheral nociceptors
and has been implicated in various inflammatory and neuropathic pain conditions. Although …

In the 1990s, the identification of a non-selective ion channel, especially responsive to
capsaicin, revolutionized the studies of somatosensation and pain that were to follow. The …

Aims Electroacupuncture (EA) at the Lianquan (CV23) could alleviate swallowing
dysfunction. However, current knowledge of its neural modulation focused on the brain, with …

Vascular tone is a major element in the control of hemodynamics. Transient receptor
potential (TRP) channels conducting monovalent and/or divalent cations (eg Na+ and Ca …

Today's sedentary lifestyle with excess food and little exercise increases the number of
people with hypertension, a major risk factor for stroke. New knowledge of treatments in this …

Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) is a calcium‐permeable ion channel that is
gated by the pungent constituent of red chili pepper, capsaicin, and by related chemicals …

Purpose This study aims to investigate the effects of acute cycling on blood pressure (BP),
arterial function, and heart rate variability (HRV) in men living with HIV (MLHIV) using …

We showed previously that capsaicin, an active compound of chili peppers, can inhibit
platelet-derived growth factor-induced proliferation in primary rat vascular smooth muscle …
