Modulation of Capsaicin-Evoked Visceral Pain and Referred Hyperalgesia by Protease-Activated Receptors 1 and 2

Protease-activated receptors (PARs) 1 and 2 are expressed in capsaicin-sensitive sensory neurons, being anti- and pro-nociceptive, respectively. Given the possible cross talk between PAR-2 and capsaicin receptors, we investigated if PAR-2 activation could facilitate capsaicin-evoked visceral pain an...
