| Abstract | 1. A spinal ventral root response was measured following the activation of peripheral fibres by noxious (heat at 48 degrees C, capsaicin, bradykinin) and innocuous (brush) stimuli in a preparation of the neonatal rat spinal cord-tail maintained in vitro. 2. Following superfusion of the tail with 0.1-1.0 nM of the potent irritant, resiniferatoxin (RTX), brief, irregular depolarization and a selective loss of capsaicin sensitivity was produced. RTX 10-100 nM evoked a tonic response, initiated transient irregular depolarizations and densitization to further applications of RTX and capsaicin but not to other stimuli. Following RTX 1 microM a prolonged loss of sensitivity to all noxious stimuli was produced. 3. When a selective densitization to capsaicin was produced by a long application of capsaicin, RTX was also ineffective. 4. Superfusion of the tail with 4 beta-phorbol, 12, 13-dibutyrate (PDBu), a protein kinase C activator, stimulated capsaicin-sensitive peripheral fibres. Prolonged administration of PDBu attenuated or abolished further responses to PDBu and bradykinin but responses to RTX and capsaicin were unchanged. The protein kinase C inhibitor staurosporine (50-200 nM), attenuated the effects of PDBu and bradykinin but not those of RTX or capsaicin. 5. The present data suggest that neither RTX nor capsaicin act on peripheral nociceptors via a phorbol ester-like stimulation of protein kinase C. Rather, RTX acts on nociceptors by a similar mechanism to capsaicin. These effects may be the basis for the irritant properties of RTX and may further relate to the antinociceptive actions observed in vivo. RTX is therefore a potent new tool with which to investigate the properties of nociceptive neurones and provides a prototype for further development of antinociceptive agents. |

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.
