TL;DR: It is shown that allicin and DADS excite an allyl isothiocyanate-sensitive subpopulation of sensory neurons and induce vasodilation by activating capsaicin-sensitive perivascular sensory nerve endings, suggesting that garlic excites sensory neurons primarily through activation of TRPA1.

TL;DR: In conclusion, AM404 activates native and cloned vanilloid receptors and causes vasodilation in rat isolated hepatic artery contracted with phenylephrine.

TL;DR: It is shown that several endogenous non-cannabinoid NAEs, many of which are more abundant than anandamide in rat tissues, activate TRPV1 and thus may play a role as endogenous TRPv1 modulators.

TL;DR: Results show that intact 2-arachidonoylglycerol and 1-arachesionoyl Glycerol are endogenous TRPV1 activators, contributing to phospholipase C-dependent TRP V1 channel activation and TRPv1-mediated antinociceptive signaling in the brain.

TL;DR: It is shown that vanilloid receptors on capsaicin‐sensitive sensory nerves play an important role in the vasorelaxant action of methanandamide in the rat isolated mesenteric arterial bed and small mesenteri arterial segments.
