The use of chemical as synonymous with toxic, hazardous or poison in some contexts, particularly popular media, is common. 4 This gives rise to a definition of chemical as something synthetic and toxic, and leads to a series of misconceptions such as the possibility of leading a chemical-free life.
Breeding of different branches of the equine family, which does not occur in the wild, generally results in infertile offspring. The combination of sire and dam also affects the offspring phenotype. A zorse is the offspring of a zebra stallion and a horse mare. This cross is also called a zebrula, zebrule, or zebra mule. The rarer reverse pairing is sometimes called a horbra, hebra, zebrinny or zebret. Like most other animal hybrids, the zorse is sterile.
Dillin and his team decided to focus on a specific pain receptor called TRPV1 (transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1). One of the bodyâs major pain receptors, TRPV1 is already known to be activated by the âhotâ compound in chili peppers called capsaicin. Constant activation of this receptor can actually lead to its death, and interestingly enough, diets rich in capsaicin have been linked with lower incidences of diabetes and metabolic issues.
