Abstract
Administration of arachidonic acid (AA) both in vitro and in vivo elicited prominent contractile responses in guinea-pig airways, which were markedly reduced after capsaicin desensitization. Furthermore, AA superfusion elicited a significant calcitonin gene-related peptide-like immunoreactivity release from isolated bronchi. It is suggested that at least part of the bronchomotor actions of AA rely upon stimulation of capsaicin-sensitive primary afferents.Entities:
