TABLE 1

Examples of structurally unrelated ion channels regulated by capsaicin and capsazepine

To avoid possible effects of TRPV1 receptors; the list is incomplete in that we focus on results obtained in cells in which the TRPV1 receptor has not bee n described. Furthermore, the examples chosen satisfy one or more of the following criteria: a) no activation of current by capsaicin or no change in resting membra ne potential; b) no description of activation of current or change in resting membrane potential by capsaicin; c) effects of capsa zepine similar to capsaicin; d) nonmam malian.
