“Additionally, the protective effect of lafutidine , but not of famotidine, was partly attenuated by the denervation of capsaicin-sensitive afferent nerves with a large dose of capsaicin.”
“Stimulation of the capsaicin pathway with compounds such as Laf enhances mucosal protection from acid-related injury in the upper gastrointestinal tract.”

“In conclusion, our findings demonstrate that lafutidine modulates the activity of capsaicin sensitive afferent nerves in the rat stomach, which may be a key mechanism involved in its gastroprotective action.”
“ Lafutidine enhanced both CGRP and NO release from the rat stomach induced by a submaximal dose of capsaicin , but had no effect on specific [3H]‐RTX and capsaicin binding to VR1.”
