Local application of capsaicin (threshold dose 150 microM) or nicotine (threshold dose 15 mM) to the nasal mucosa as well as electrical stimulation (threshold intensity 10 V) of the nasal mucosa elicited dose- or intensity-dependent blood flow increases in the ipsilateral lower lips of the anesthetized cats. Pretreatment with 3 mM capsaicin applied locally to the nasal mucosa abolished or reduced the vasodilation in response to capsaicin, nicotine, and ammonia vapor but not to light mechanical or electrical stimulation of the nasal mucosa. The blood flow increases elicited by all above stimuli were greatly reduced by pretreatment with hexamethonium, an autonomic ganglion blocker. These results suggest that stimulation of the nasal mucosa by chemical (capsaicin, nicotine, ammonia), mechanical, or electrical methods elicits the autonomic reflex vasodilatation in the cat lower lips. Furthermore, there seem to be at least two types of afferent fibers in the nasal mucosa of the cats: one type is capsaicin-sensitive fibers, while another type is capsaicin-resistant fibers involved in reflex vasodilatation.
