Capsaicinoids Cause Inflammation and Epithelial Cell Death through Activation of Vanilloid Receptors

Capsaicinoids, found in less-than-lethal self-defense weapons, have been associated with respiratory failure and death in exposed animals and people. The studies described herein provide evidence for acute respiratory inflammation and damage to epithelial cells in experimental animals, and provide p...
