Nociceptive behavior evoked by i.pl. injection of resiniferatoxin (RTX test) and the inhibitory effect of capsazepine. (a) Time course of licking/biting behavior evoked by i.pl. injection of RTX (0.01-100  ng). RTX was injected at time zero (arrowhead). For clarity, the results for 0.01, 0.1 and 10 ng RTX are not shown. (b) Time spent licking/biting during the first 10 minutes of the test. (c, d) Time course of licking/biting behavior evoked by i.pl. injection of RTX (1 ng) and time spent licking/biting during the first 10 minutes of the test. Capsazepine was co-injected with RTX at time zero (arrowhead in c). All data represent the mean ( ± SEM) result from six and five mice in (a, b) and (c, d) respectively. Non-parametric multiple comparisons with Bonferroni correction following the Kruskal-Wallis test were used [(b), five comparisons in six groups; (d), three comparisons in four groups; *P < 0.05 vs. Vehicle group]. CZP, capsazepine; i.pl., intraplantar injection.
