Effect of CGRP on the TRPV1 levels in rat TG organ cultures. a TG organ cultures were incubated for 1 h with CGRP (0.5, 1, 2 or 4 µM). b TG organ culture were incubated with 1 µM CGRP for 1 and 2 h. The control cultures were incubated with culture media. The TG proteins were subjected to western blot analysis for TRPV1 (130 kDa), and the amounts were quantified (relative to β-actin). The results are expressed as the mean ± SEM of four independent experiments. Statistics was performed using ANOVA with Tukey–Kramer tests. *p < 0.05 compared with the control
