Background: Cross talk between peripheral nociceptors belonging to the transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor subtype-1 (TRPV1) and ankyrin subtype-1 (TRPA1) family has been demonstrated recently. Moreover, the intravenous anesthetic…
We demonstrated previously that TRPV1-dependent coupling of coronary blood flow (CBF) to metabolism is disrupted in diabetes. A critical amount of H2O2 contributes to CBF regulation; however, excessive H2O2 impairs responses. We sought to determine…
Sensorimotor feedback is critical to safe and effective swallowing. Because of this, sensory interventions have the potential to treat dysphagia. One such treatment may be found in capsaicin, which activates the internal branch of the superior…
