CAPSAICIN LINK. “The capsaicin- and heat-activated non-selective cation channel TRPV1 exhibits robust temperature activation above 42°C in heterologous systems and primary neurons…TRPV1-deficient mice show complete loss of capsaicin sensitivity and significant reduction in the detection of noxious (≥50°C) heat stimuli and/or thermal hyperalgesia.” Similarly, birds are oblivious to capsaicin.
