Okay but the question was never if subcutaneous injections of capsaicin produce a pain reaction, nor how the effects of neonatal exposure to capsaicin effect the development of a rats life (even if there are impacts on the sensitivity of a response in TRPV1 as a result, your second link pretty clearly establishes that that is not a strong indicator of pain response to capsaicin in rodents). Neither of those have to do with the consumption of capsaicin, though the second article is pretty interesting! It doesnât establish a relationship between baseline ârodentsâ and TRPV1 response though, nor does it make any claims about severity of response or exposure sensitivity (which are not the goals of the paper), but that may be because the only english copy I can find of the article is a fairly abbreviated version of the full chinese text (and I uh⊠do not read written chinese very well at all, let alone discussions of technical biology).

Combination of these two should show you that mice react similarly to human reactions to oral ingestion of capsicin:
Innate liking and disgust reactions elicited by intraoral capsaicin in male mice
Acute oral toxicity of capsaicin in mice

Okay, Iâm starting to question if youâre even reading the articles youâre bringing out here?
First link states in the abstract that it isnât measuring a pain response, the paper goes on to clarify that (and has some pretty horrifying descriptions of the surgical procedureâŠ)
The second is studying the LD-50 of capsaicin - and yeah I bet they had a pain response, since they were given so much of it some of them died of stomach ulcers. It does not at any point discuss the pain response from consuming it, beyond that they died. These are both fundamentally irrelevant to the topic at hand.
