The effects of surgical denervation, capsaicin, and 6-Hydroxydopamine pretreatment on the inflammatory response to thermal injury have been investigated in the rat. Surgical denervation and capsaicin pretreatment reduced the cellular and exudative reactions to the injury. 6-Hydroxydopamine appeared to have a selective effect on the exudative reaction only. The effects of surgical denervation are partly explained by local and systemic effects of the procedure.
