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 discovery of the sensory nature of the carotid body dates back to the beginning of the
20th century. Following these seminal discoveries, research into carotid body mechanisms …

The respiratory response to hypoxia in mammals develops from an inhibition of breathing
movements in utero into a sustained increase in ventilation in the adult. This ventilatory …

The carotid body (CB) is the main arterial chemoreceptor. The most accepted model of
arterial chemoreception postulates that carotid body glomus (type I) cells are the primary …

Mammalian carotid bodies are richly vascularized chemosensory organs that sense blood
levels of O2, CO2/H+, and glucose and maintain homeostatic regulation of these levels via …

The carotid body (CB) is a chemosensory organ that detects changes in chemical
composition of arterial blood and maintains homeostasis via reflex control of ventilation …

1 To investigate synaptic mechanisms mediating chemosensory signalling in the carotid
body, we developed co‐cultures of chemoreceptor type 1 cell clusters and dissociated …

Caffeine, an unspecific antagonist of adenosine receptors, is commonly used to treat the
apnea of prematurity. We have defined the effects of caffeine on the carotid body (CB) …

Several molecules have been proposed as excitatory transmitters between glomus (type 1)
cells and nerve terminals of petrosal ganglion (PG) neurons in the carotid body (CB). We …

The carotid body (CB) is the main peripheral chemoreceptor. The present model of CB
chemoreception states that glomus (type I) cells are the primary receptors, which are …
