Respiratory effects of an intravenous injection of capsaicin were investigated in nine vagotomized and subsequently laryngeally deafferentated, urethane- and chloralose- anaesthetized and spontaneously breathing rats. Bolus injection of capsaicin (5 g/kg) into the right femoral vein induced an expiratory apnoea of 4.23 0.63 s duration (mean SEM). In post-apnoeic breathing, tidal volume increased by 14% from the control level (P<0.05) in all nine rats treated by vagotomy. Section of the superior laryngeal nerves (SLNs) precluded the occurrence of apnoea. Results of this study indicate that in vagotomized rats sensory input from the larynx constitutes an important pathway to the nodose ganglia endowed with capsaicin receptors.

The effects of capsaicin, dimethyl sulphoxide and pH changes on transport of sodium and/or chlorine ions in an isolated frog skin, were studied using electrophysiological methods, adapted to evaluation of ionic currents occurring in the epithelial tissues and organs. The experiment consisted in measuring potential difference (PD in mV) of an isolated skin of the aquatic frog, Rana esculenta L., placed in a Ussing apparatus. The ionic transport processes were modified through incubation of the tissue in Ringer solution and in Ringer solution supplemented with amiloride, bumetanide, and also with dimethyl sulphoxide. The direct effect of capsaicin and dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) on frog skin was assessed while these compounds were added to the Ussing chamber with a pipette and a peristaltic pump. Adaptive reactions of the tissue were assessed following at least 60-min exposure to those compounds. It has been demonstrated that amiloride-inhibited sodium ion transport and acidification of the incubation medium (pH 6.4) inhibited mechanically induced epithelium reactions. Both compounds, capsaicin and DMSO modified ionic transport processes depending on the mechanical stimulation.

The vanilliod receptor subfamily belongs to the transient receptor potential family of ion channels. Vanilloid receptors are calcium-permeable channels highly expressed in many different cells, both excitable and nonexcitable, in invertebrates (nematodes, insects) and vertebrates (mammals). These receptors are sensitive to a wide range of stimuli (chemical, mechanical, osmotic and temperature) that often activate the same channel. This review focuses on recent information, both bibliographic and experimental evidence of the author, concerning the structure and functions of vanilloid receptors, especially those connected with thermoregulation.

The effects of an intravenous capsaicin challenge on the respiratory pattern and ventilation were studied in 15 urethane/chloralose-anaesthetized, spontanously breathing rats. Bolus injection of capsaicin at a dose of 5 mug/kg into the right femoral vein evoked respiratory arrest in all animals (both prior to and after bilateral midcervical vagotomy), which effect was abolished by ruthenium red pretreatment. Breathing that followed the apnoea was of enlarged tidal volume and initially increased respiratory rate, which resulted in an augmented ventilation. The capsaicin-induced respiratory changes were independent of vagal integrity and may depend on stimulation of vanilloid receptors within the nodose ganglia.
