1 The intravenous injection of 15 fig capsaicin produced an increase in the temperature of tail skin and paw pad and a fall in the colon temperature in conscious rats. These reactions reflect increased heat dissipation. 2 The increase in skin temperature induced by intravenous capsaicin was absent when the function of small diameter primary afferent neurones was impaired by treatment of the rats with capsaicin as neonates. Thus it appears that intravenous capsaicin triggered the…

Capsaicin-induced reflex fall in rat blood pressure is mediated by afferent substance P-containing neurones via a reflex centre in the brain stem

Using spinal rats or decerebration experiments, the centre of the capsaicin-evoked reflex fall in blood pressure could be localized in the brain stem and was exclusively mediated by substance P-containing primary afferent fibres.

Participation of capsaicin-sensitive afferent neurons in gastric motor inhibition caused by laparotomy and intraperitoneal acid

Effects of capsaicin application on the skin during resting exposure to temperate and warm conditions

At 30°C CA, thermal responses were accompanied by arterial hypotension most likely due to the interactive effects of both stressors (warm environment and capsaicin) on cutaneous vascular regulation.

Thermoregulatory and cardiovasculareffects of capsaicin application on human skin during dynamic exercise to temperate and warm conditions

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

Thermal conditions influence changes in body temperature induced by intragastric administration of capsaicin in mice

It is shown that intragastric administration of 10 and 15 mg/kg capsaicin increased tail temperature and decreased colonic temperatures in the core temperature (CT)-constant and CT-decreasing conditions and that preliminary thermoregulation state might be more important than the constancy of temperature to evaluate the effects of heat diffusion and thermogensis.

Capsaicin sensitive afferent neurons from peripheral glucose receptors mediate the insulin-induced increase in adrenaline secretion

It is concluded that glucose receptors in the hepatic portal vein transmit signals via afferent, capsaicin sensitive C-fibres to the brain and that activation of this pathway is essential for the increase in adrenaline secretion elicited by insulin-induced hypoglycaemia.

Disturbances of thermoregulation induced by capsaicin

A pharmacological approach to elucidation of the role of different nerve fibres and receptor endings in mediation of pain.

It is concluded that capsaicin is a selective sensory blocking agent which acts by stimulation and subsequent sensory blockage of polymodal nociceptors and warm receptors.

Stimulation and desensitization of the hypothalamic heat‐sensitive structures by capsaicin in rats

1. In rats the injection of capsaicin into the pre‐optic area of the anterior hypothalamus produces a prompt fall in body temperature and abolishes shivering. With repeated injections of capsaicin…

EFFECTS OF BRETYLIUM AND GUANETHIDINE ON HUMAN HAND AND FOREARM VESSELS AND ON THEIR SENSITIVITY TO NORADRENALINE.

It is concluded that the phenomenon of tolerance which is conspicuous with bretylium and negligible with guanethidine is unlikely to be due to the rapid onset of hypersensitivity of the peripheral vessels.

DECREASE OF SUBSTANCE P IN PRIMARY AFFERENT NEURONES AND IMPAIRMENT OF NEUROGENIC PLASMA EXTRAVASATION BY CAPSAICIN

The results indicate that the action of capsaicin on substance P neurones is restricted to primary sensory neurones and it is suggested that release of substance P is involved in neurogenic plasma extravasation.

A recently developed method to determine capsaicin in animal tissue was used to investigate the distribution of Capsaicin under experimental conditions which have been applied to achieve depletion of substance P and somatostatin.
