1 TTX attenuates release of CGRP caused by low concentrations of capsaicin, indicating that an axon reflex mechanism in the peripheral endings of C-fibre afferents can augment local outflow of CGRP. Capsaicin calcitonin related polypeptide alpha Homo sapiens
2 TTX attenuates release of CGRP caused by low concentrations of capsaicin, indicating that an axon reflex mechanism in the peripheral endings of C-fibre afferents can augment local outflow of CGRP. Capsaicin calcitonin related polypeptide alpha Homo sapiens
3 Outflow of CGRP evoked by low pH and capsaicin have common features, such as sensitivity to RR and CPZ. Capsaicin calcitonin related polypeptide alpha Homo sapiens
4 Capsaicin pretreatment resulted in lower myocardial levels of CGRP, and ischaemic myocardium had lower content of CGRP than non-ischaemic areas. Capsaicin calcitonin related polypeptide alpha Homo sapiens
5 Capsaicin-treated animals had larger myocardial infarctions, possibly due to depletion of CGRP. Capsaicin calcitonin related polypeptide alpha Homo sapiens
6 Based on the present findings it may therefore be suggested that local cardiac CGRP-release from capsaicin-sensitive C-fibre afferents during myocardial ischaemia functions as an endogenous physiological protective response. Capsaicin calcitonin related polypeptide alpha Homo sapiens
