1 | RESULTS: Injection of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, a cytokine implicated in the pathology of acute sinusitis and allergic rhinitis, into the V2 region was shown to lower the amount of capsaicin required to stimulate neurons located in the V1 region of the ganglion. | Capsaicin | tumor necrosis factor | Rattus norvegicus |
2 | CONCLUSIONS: We propose that increased levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, as reported during acute sinusitis and allergic rhinitis, reduces the amount of capsaicin necessary to stimulate V1 neurons that leads to cellular changes in both V1 and V2 regions. | Capsaicin | tumor necrosis factor | Rattus norvegicus |
