Exposure to Allergen Causes Changes in NTS Neural Activities after Intratracheal Capsaicin Application, in Endocannabinoid Levels and in the Glia Morphology of NTS
Figure 3
Effect of vehicle (20% DMSO in ACSF) or capsaicin (300 pg in 20 μL) in naïve (a) and sensitized (b) rats. L-AP4 (4 nmol/rat) (hollow arrow) prevented the capsaicin (full arrow) induced increase in the airway-related NTS neuron ongoing activities. This effect of L-AP4 (4 nmol/rat) was prevented by pretreatment with MSOP (100 nmol/rat) (arrow with lines). Each point represents the of five rats per group. Values statistically ( value < 0.05) significant versus the respective control were indicated as open symbols.
