Mechanisms of Capsaicin- and Citric-Acid-Induced Cough Reflexes in Guinea Pigs

Previously, we developed a novel coughing model that evoked coughs via citric acid microinjection into the larynx of unanesthetized, unrestrained guinea pigs. Here, we compared the effects of capsaicin and citric acid administration into the larynx using this model. Inhalation of capsaicin (30 µM) o...
