1 Agonists of the vanilloid receptor type 1 (VR1), such as capsaicin, induce an analgesic effect following an initial excitatory response. Capsaicin transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 1 Mus musculus
2 This prolongation of capsaicin-induced analgesia during inflammation was mediated through VR1 since it was completely blocked by coadministration of capsazepine (10 microg). Capsaicin transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 1 Mus musculus
3 Overall, these results show that the analgesic effects of capsaicin are importantly enhanced during inflammation, supporting the fact that the stimulation of VR1 could perhaps constitute a suitable strategy to avoid inflammatory hyperalgesia. Capsaicin transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 1 Mus musculus
