Oxygen (O2) sensing by the carotid body is critical for maintaining cardiorespiratory
homeostasis during hypoxia. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) signaling is implicated in carotid body …

Superior cervical ganglia (SCG) postganglionic neurons receive preganglionic drive via the
cervical sympathetic chains (CSC). The SCG projects to structures like the carotid bodies …

Chronic carotid body (CB) activation is now recognized as being essential in the
development of hypertension and promoting insulin resistance; thus, it is imperative to …

Ventilatory and neuroendocrine counter-regulatory responses during hypoglycaemia are
essential in order to maintain glycolysis and prevent rises in P a CO 2 leading to systemic …

Introduction Mast cell (MC) degranulation is an important step in the pathogenesis of
inflammatory reactions and allergies; however, the mechanism of stabilizing MC membranes …

The cervical sympathetic chain (CSC) innervates post-ganglionic sympathetic neurons
within the ipsilateral superior cervical ganglion (SCG) of all mammalian species studied to …

Objective Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease that can lead to severe problems with
the respiratory system. This study aimed to evaluate the suppression of allergic airway …

Carotid body (CB) hyperactivity promotes hypertension in response to chronic intermittent
hypoxia (CIH). The plasma concentration of adrenaline is reported to be elevated in CIH and …

Chronic hypoxia (CHox) augments chemoafferent activity in sensory fibers innervating
carotid body (CB) chemoreceptor type I cells; however, the underlying mechanisms are …

The advent of single-cell RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) technology has enabled
transcriptome profiling of individual cells. Comprehensive gene expression analysis at the …
