...Hann-Chorng Kuo Capsaicin has been proven to deplete neuropeptides in sensory afferent nerve terminals, causing initial excitatory and final inhibitory effects on the urinary bladder in rats and humans. In order to investigate the effect of capsaicin on detrusor contractility, an in vivo...

...Hann-Chorng Kuo In order to understand the mechanisms by which capsaicin at high concentrations affects the micturition reflex and detrusor contractility, in vivo and in vitro whole bladder studies were conducted using ganglionic blockers and a neurokinin receptor antagonist. Thirty-eight adult...
