“ Amiloride significantly, albeit weakly, reduced the irritation elicited by citric acid while it weakly but significantly enhanced capsaicin-evoked irritation.”
“The responses to citric acid were inhibited significantly more than the responses to all other stimuli with the exception of NaCl mixed with amiloride.”
“ Amiloride (30-300 microM), which when presented alone was neither preferred nor avoided, significantly reduced the aversiveness of citric acid at pH 2.4, similar to its effect on NaCl aversiveness.”
