1 Capsaicin attenuated the twitch response of the rat vas deferens induced by the transmural nerve stimulation (TNS) in vitro. Capsaicin arginine vasopressin Rattus norvegicus
2 These results suggest that capsaicin releases endogenous CGRP and that the released CGRP inhibits the contraction of the rat vas deferens by acting directly on smooth muscle cells but not on the sympathetic nerves. Capsaicin arginine vasopressin Rattus norvegicus
