Introduction Capsaicin, a chili pepper extract, can stimulate increased skin blood flow (SkBF)
with a perceived warming sensation on application areas. Larger surface area application …

Purpose Determine if topical capsaicin, a transient receptor potential vanilloid heat
thermoreceptor activator, alters thermoregulation and perception when applied topically …

OBJECTIVE: To determine the thermoregulatory response of humans to heat following an
ingestion of capsaicin. METHODS: The thermoregulatory responses of 7 men (aged 22–28 …

Animals respond to acute local or systemic administration of capsaicin with strong
nociceptive reactions. The present investigation examined the thermal sensation in males …

Background Capsaicin alters thermoregulation in adult rats by producing a dose-dependent
fall in body temperature and metabolism. The present investigation examined the thermal …

Objective To explore the effect of aspirin on the thermoregulatory responses of men during
exposure to 12° C air (acute cold exposure) for a period of 120 minutes and recovery in 25° …

Thermoregulatory and cardiovascular responses during cycling in temperate and warm
environments without and with application of capsaicin on the skin were investigated. We …

Objective Heat-related illness is a common disease with significant morbidity and mortality.
Despite no proven efficacy, application of chemical cold packs (CCP) to the skin overlying …

Introduction This study investigated skin vasomotor responses in the fingers and toes during
cooling and rewarming with and without normobaric hypoxia. Methods Fourteen volunteers …

Objective The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of caffeine intake on finger
cold-induced vasodilation (CIVD). Methods Ten healthy men underwent 6 experimental …
