Abstract
Multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) is a complex disorder initiated by chemical exposure, particularly through the airways. MCS patients report sensitivity or intolerance to low levels of a wide spectrum of chemicals. Symptoms could include asthma-like signs, rhinitis, fatigue, cognitive dysfunction, psycho-physiological alteration, and other specific tissue reactions resembling hypoxic and oxidative stress effects. To recognize physiological signs that would allow the diagnosis of MCS in a non-invasive way we investigated the potential application of a new sensor system. In healthy volunteers, we measured exhaled breath content in the control condition and under exposure to olfactory stressors that mimic hypoxic or pollutant stressors playing a potential role in the generation of the MCS disorder. The recording system used is based on metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) sensor having a sensing range of 450-2,000 ppm CO(2) equivalents, which is able to detect a broad range of compounds playing a potential role in the generation of the MCS disorder, while correlating directly with the CO(2) levels. The results indicate that the recording system employed was suitable for the analysis of exhaled breath content in humans. Interestingly, the system was able to detect and discriminate between the exhaled breath content taken from the control condition and those from conditions under stress that mimicked exposures to pollutant or hypoxia. The results suggest that chronic hypoxia could be involved in the MCS disorder.

Multiple chemical sensitivity: On the scent of central sensitization.

PubMed abstract
Journal:
Int J Hyg Environ Health
Year:
2012
Subject:
The central nervous system
The objectives of the study were to use quantitative sensory testing (QST) to study central hyperexcitability and multiple aspects of central sensory processing in MCS patients without comorbid overlapping disorders and to compare the results with those among matched controls.

The study included 15 MCS patients and 15 healthy matched controls. The following aspects of pain were assessed: capsaicin-induced secondary punctate hyperalgesia, stimulus response function to punctate mechanical stimuli before and after capsaicin injection, temporal summation to punctate stimuli post capsaicin injection, pressure pain thresholds, heat pain thresholds, tonic heat stimulation and conditioning pain modulation (CPM: formerly known as diffuse noxious inhibitory control or DNIC). 

The study demonstrated increased capsaicin-induced secondary punctate hyperalgesia in MCS patients without comorbid, overlapping disorders, suggesting facilitated central sensitization in MCS.

Ein Sauerstoffmangel (Hypoxie) kann anscheinend den TRPV1 Rezeptor sensibilisieren:

Auf der Seite sind die Folgen von Sauerstoffmangel auf die Zelle an Hand von Bildern beschrieben. Leider ist sie auf Englisch.
