Capsaicin sensitive neurons have been shown to mediate various autonomic and neuroendocrine reflex responses [1]. Destruction of afferent peptidergic C fibres by treatment of neonatal rats with capsaicin [2] was used to investigate the function of these neurons in (A) stress induced ACTH secretion and (B) in the regulation of adrenaline release by insulin induced hypoglycaemia.
