Nonadrenergic noncholinergic nerve fibers supposedly modulate basal coronary flow by
releasing capsaicin-sensitive neuropeptides, but the physiological effects of this intrinsic …

In the present study the possible influence of capsaicin on human arterial coronary tone in
vitro was studied in relation to the vasodilatory properties of calcitonin gene‐related peptide …

Perivascular sensory nerves release calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and substance
P, the dilator actions of which can be regulated by nitric oxide (NO). This study investigated …

The ability of arachidonic acid (AA) and bradykinin to release calcitonin gene-related
peptide-like immunoreactivity (CGRP-LI) from capsaicin-sensitive primary afferents was …

The vasodilator effects of the human calcitonin gene-related peptides α (hCGRPα) and β
(hCGRPβ) were studied in vitro and in vivo in relation to the effects of substance P (SP) and …

1 Bradykinin and capsaicin were compared for their ability to elicit functional effects and to
release sensory neuropeptides from guinea‐pig isolated perfused hearts. 2 Both bradykinin …

The possible role of peptides locally released from sensory nerves in the control of cardiac
contractility and the coronary vascular tone was investigated in the present study …

Capsaicin at a concentration of 10− 7m induced a significant increase in heart rate and
increased coronary flow in isolated Langendorff-perfused guinea-pig hearts. This effect was …

The effects of rat-and human-CGRP and capsaicin were studied in isolated rings of rat
proximal epicardial (PC) and distal intramyocardial (DC) coronary arteries. 2. The relaxing …

Cardiac tissue is densely innervated by sensory neurons that are believed to play important
modulatory roles in cardiac functions. In this study, pretreatment of neonate rats with …
