The carotid body (CB) is the main peripheral chemoreceptor for arterial respiratory gases O2
and CO2 and pH, eliciting reflex ventilatory, cardiovascular, and humoral responses to …

The carotid body has emerged as a therapeutic target for cardio-respiratory-metabolic
diseases. With the expansive functions of the chemoreflex, we sought mechanisms to …

The purpose of this study was to determine whether there are sex differences in the
cardiorespiratory and sympathetic neurocirculatory responses to central, peripheral, and …

The cardiovascular response to exercise is largely determined by neurocirculatory control
mechanisms that help to raise blood pressure and modulate vascular resistance which, in …

This pre-eminent work has developed over six editions in response to man's attempts to
climb higher and higher unaided, and to spend more time at altitude for both work and …

The nucleus tractus solitarii (nTS) is the initial site of integration of sensory information from
the cardiorespiratory system and contributes to reflex responses to hypoxia. Afferent fibers of …

Increasing prevalence of native lowlanders sojourning to high altitudes (> 2,500 m) for
recreational, occupational, military, and competitive reasons has generated increased …

New Findings What is the central question of this study? What is the role of β‐and α‐
adrenergic receptors in the control of the coronary circulation during handgrip exercise and …

During an apnea, changes in PaO 2 activate peripheral chemoreceptors to increase
respiratory drive. Athletes with continuous apnea, such as breath-hold divers, have shown a …

Viscerosensory information travels to the brain via vagal afferents, where it is first integrated
within the brainstem nucleus tractus solitarii (nTS), a critical contributor to cardiorespiratory …
