2022, Phytomedicine PlusCitation Excerpt :This percentage value was significantly smaller than that (269 ± 33%; p = 0.003) in the absence of capsazepine in the same neuron (p = 0.018), indicating an involvement of TRPV1 channels. Capsazepine itself did not affect sEPSC frequency (99 ± 1% of control; n = 6; p = 0.511; measured for 0.5 min just before (±)-linalool application), as reported previously (Inoue et al., 2012; Kang et al., 2015; Kosugi et al., 2007; Luo et al., 2014; Xu et al., 2015; Yang et al., 1998). HC-030,031 also partially inhibited (±)-linalool effect (Fig. 3B) producing sEPSC frequency of 174 ± 12% (n = 5; p = 0.003) of control, measured for 0.5 min around 4 min after the onset of (±)-linalool addition.

2019, NeuropharmacologyCitation Excerpt :It is well known that TRPV1 is expressed in peripheral and central axon terminals in the spinal cord (Caterina et al., 1997; Tominaga and Caterina, 2004; Tominaga et al., 1998; Yang et al., 1998). TRPV1 is mainly expressed in C fibers and/or Aδ fibers (Tominaga et al., 1998; Uta et al., 2010; Yang et al., 1998). Thus far, the majority of studies have focused on the functions of TRPV1 in the periphery or central axon terminals in the spinal cord.
