May link capsaicin to Ca2+-mediated neurotoxicity in sensory neurons; leaves open relevance to human pain or toxicity pathways.
This study provides the first clear demonstration of a capsaicin-activated, nonselective cation channel in DRG neurons, potentially underlying its neurotoxic effects.
Oh et al. (1996) studied this question.
