EFFECT OF CAPSAICIN AND EUGENOL ON ICGRP (IMMUNOREACTIVE CALCITONIN GENE-RELATED PEPTIDE) RELEASE FROM RAT LUMBAR SPINAL CORD.
백서 척수에서 Capsaicin과 Eugenol이 iCGRP (immunoreactive calcitonin gene-related peptide) 분비 조절에 미치는 영향.
Abstract
Neuropeptide such as calcitonin gene-related peptide and substance P may mediate neurogenic inflammation, but little is known about the regulation of neuropeptide release from rat spinal cord. Eugenol has been reported to reduce odontogenic pain and is known to have a structure similar to capsaicin, a potent stimulant of certain nociceptors. This study was done to examine the effect of capsaicin and eugenol on immunoreactive calcitonin gene-related peptide (iCGRP) release from rat spinal cord and whether eugenol regulates capsaicin-sensitive release of iCCRP or it evokes capsaicin-sensitive release of iCGRP. The dor-sal half of rat lumbar spinal cord was chopped into 200
