摘要
Intracellular free Ca2+ and Na+ concentrations in cultured rat dorsal root ganglion cells were studied using the intracellular fluorescent probes fura-2 and SBFI, respectively. Capsaicin increased both intracellular [Ca2+] and [Na+]. A rise in cytosolic free Ca2+ could still be seen if Na+ was removed from the outer medium. The results suggest that capsaicin opens up ion channels which are permeable both to Ca2+ and Na+.
