Capsaicin is the pungent ingredient present in hot peppers of the genus Capsicum. Capsaicin’s effect on sensory neurons has been well studied; however, its effect on non-neuronal cells is still not fully understood. This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of capsaicin on erythrocyte membrane enzymes: Na+/K+-ATPase and Ca2+-ATPase. Treatment with capsaicin (0.01- 100μM) caused a transient increase in the activities of both enzymes; the effect declined at lower concentrations of capsaicin, and no significant effect was observed at 0.01μM capsaicin. The effect of capsaicin was fast with a significant (p<0.01) activation of enzyme activity observed within minutes of incubation. The findings on the effect of capsaicin on human erythrocyte membrane enzymes Na+/K+-ATPase and Ca2+-ATPase signify the importance of the non-neuronal effects of capsaicin, and the need for evaluating the physiological impact of high capsaicin (capsicum) consumption in some regions of the world.
