Topical application of capsaicin to human skin produced an initial burning erythematous reaction which diminished over 24 hr leaving the skin unresponsive to histamine-induced axon reflex vasodilatation without altering sensitivity to pain, touch and temperature. Depletion of substance P from local sensory nerve terminals is suggested as a possible explanation for this capsaicin effect.
将辣椒素局部应用于人体皮肤会产生最初的灼痛性红斑反应,该反应在24小时内逐渐减轻,之后皮肤对组胺诱导的轴突反射性血管舒张无反应,同时对疼痛、触觉和温度的敏感性未改变。局部感觉神经末梢中P物质的耗竭被认为是这种辣椒素效应的一种可能解释。
