Genital grooming and emesis induced by vanilloids in Suncus murinus, the house musk shrew.

Abstract:

:The potential of resiniferatoxin and capsaicin to modulate emesis and genital grooming was investigated in Suncus murinus. Resinifertoxin (3-30 nmol, i.c.v.), E-capsaicin (10-100 nmol, i.c.v.) and Z-capsaicin (100 nmol, i.c.v.) induced emesis (P<0.05) and subsequently antagonised the emetic response induced by intragastric copper sulphate (480.6 micromol/kg; P<0.05). However, resiniferatoxin failed to affect nicotine-induced (30.7 mol/kg, s.c.) emesis (P>0.05). Only resiniferatoxin induced genital grooming that was antagonised (P<0.05) by capsazepine (300-600 nmol, i.c.v.) and ruthenium red (3 nmol, i.c.v.). E-capsaicin-induced emesis was antagonised by capsazepine (300-600 nmol, i.c.v.; P<0.05) and ruthenium red (3 nmol, i.c.v.; P<0.05) but resiniferatoxin-induced emesis was resistant to capsazepine (30-600 nmol, i.c.v.; P>0.05). The emetic action of resiniferatoxin but not E-capsaicin was subject to tachyphylaxis. In cross-tachyphylaxis experiments, E-capsaicin reduced the genital grooming induced by resiniferatoxin (P<0.05). The data are discussed in relation to the classification of vanilloid receptors and mechanisms involved in emesis and genital grooming.
