Long-lasting influences of neonatal capsaicin treatment on functional properties of the olfactory nerve were studied in 30-day-old rats by determining excitability thresholds of nerve fibres by means of orthodromic field ...

Prenatal malnutrition-induced fetal growth retardation in the rat results in elevated arterial blood pressure at adulthood. To test the contribution of cardiovascular sensory C fibers in the hypertensive state, arterial ...
