MRPs: GalA-MRP; GlcNH2-MRP; Xyl-MRP; Fru-MRP; Glc-MRP. The concentration of MRPs is in percent. In some experiments, we also tested the effect of the unreacted soy protein fraction.

a

TRPV1 modulators: RTX (0.25 × 10−6 M); CAP (20 × 10−6 M); ethanol (20% or 40%); SB (N-(3-methoxyphenyl)-4-chlorocinnamide; SB-366791), a specific blocker of TRPV1t. In some experiments, SB was used at 5 × 10−6 M; Bz, a specific blocker of the epithelial Na+ channel.

b

HEPES (4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine-1-ethanesulfonic acid) or Tris (tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane) were used to buffer the pH of (R)pH and (N + Bz + MRPs)pH between pH 4.1 and 9.1.
