“Taken together these data suggest that prostacyclin may have a facilitory role in the micturition reflex by modulating the threshold for activation of capsaicin sensitive and insensitive bladder sensory afferents.”

“Conclusions: The present results suggest that endogenous prostaglandin I2 enhances the protective action of the capsaicin mediated neural emergency system against ethanol induced gastric mucosal injury through enhancement of CGRP release.”
“In the present study, we tested whether endogenous prostaglandin I2 also modulates the cytoprotective action of capsaicin using prostaglandin I receptor knockout mice (IP−/−).”
“One nM CPGI2 , a concentration that did not alter the resting release, significantly enhanced neuropeptide release evoked by capsaicin , 100 nM bradykinin, or 40 mM KCl.”
