Abstract
Exposure to capsaicin (1 microM) produced a prompt and sustained release of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide-like immunoreactivity (VIP-LI) from mucosa-free strips of human small intestine (jejunum and ileum). A second application of capsaicin, 60 min later, had no effect indicating complete desensitization, a specific feature of the action of capsaicin on sensory nerves. By contrast no release of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-LI was produced upon the first or second application of capsaicin.Entities:
