| Abstract | 1. The effects of capsaicin on voltage-gated Ca2+ currents (ICa), and intracellular Ca2+ concentrations [( Ca2+]i) in cultured dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurones of the rat were examined in vitro by use of combined patch clamp-microfluorometric recordings. 2. Under voltage-clamp conditions, capsaicin (0.1-10 microM) caused a concentration-dependent decrease in the magnitude of the ICa, an elevation in the holding current (Ih) and a concomitant rise in the [Ca2+]i in most cells examined. Repeated application of capsaicin produced marked desensitization. 3. Some decrease in the ICa produced by capsaicin was also observed when the rise in [Ca2+]i was buffered with EGTA or BAPTA and when Ba2+ was used as the charge carrier; under these conditions the desensitization previously observed was smaller. 4. The decrement in voltage-gated current was smaller in Ba2+ containing solutions than in Ca2+ containing solutions suggesting that the capsaicin-induced influx of Ca2+ partially mediated the observed decrease in the voltage-gated current. In cells which showed a marked response to capsaicin an outward (positive) current was sometimes observed upon depolarization from -80 to 0 mV. This effect was consistent with an outward movement of cations through the capsaicin conductance pathway which may also account, in part, for the apparent reduction in ICa by capsaicin. 5. The effects of capsaicin under voltage-clamp conditions were prevented by ruthenium red (1 microM). 6. Under current clamp conditions, capsaicin depolarized and caused a rise in [Ca2+]i in the majority of DRG cells examined. Both of these effects could be prevented by ruthenium red (500 nM). 7. It is concluded that capsaicin reduces the Ic. of rat DRG neurones primarily by indirect mechanisms. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
