Abstract:
:Capsaicin at a concentration of 10(-7)m induced a significant increase in heart rate and increased coronary flow in isolated Langendorff-perfused guinea-pig hearts. This effect was completely blocked by 30 microm of N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase. Additional incubation with 3 m m L-Arg antagonized the inhibitory effect of L-NAME. In the presence of 1 microm of a human calcitonin gene-related peptide fragment (hCGRP 8-37), a CGRP-receptor antagonist, L-Arg was without effect. We conclude that a capsaicin-induced increase in coronary flow and heart rate is dependent from an interplay between CGRP and NO in guinea-pig hearts. 1999 Academic Press.
