Human transient receptor potential ankyrin channel 1 (TRPA1) is a polymodal sensor implicated in pain, inflammation and itching. An important locus for TRPA1 regulation is the cytoplasmic N-terminal domain, through which various exogenous electrophilic compounds such as allyl-isothiocyanate from mustard oil or cinnamaldehyde from cinnamon activate primary afferent nociceptors. This major region...

Extracts of essential oils (EO) such as thymol, carvacrol, and cinnamaldehyde that occur naturally in oregano, thyme, and cinnamon have previously been shown to have positive effects on broiler performance. However, it was not known if these EO compounds affect the sensory characteristics of the broiler meat produced. The present study examined the effects of feeding 3 different blends of EO (D...
