title: Evidence for a role of adrenals in the capsaicin-sensitive "gastric defence mechanism" in rats.
abstract: Capsaicin desensitization increases the degree of indomethacin-induced gastric ulcers in sham-operated but not in adrenalectomized rats. These results suggest that adrenals play a role in the capsaicin-sensitive "gastric defence mechanism".
