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 (CB) is an important organ located at the carotid bifurcation that constantly
monitors the blood supplying the brain. During hypoxia, the CB immediately triggers an …

Carotid bodies (CBs) are metabolic sensors whose dysfunction is involved in the genesis of
dysmetabolic states. Ageing induces significant alterations in CB function also prompting to …

Reflex increases in breathing in response to acute hypoxia are dependent on activation of
the carotid body (CB)—A specialised peripheral chemoreceptor. Central to CB O2-sensing …

Sustained hypoxia (SH) in mice induces changes in the respiratory pattern and increase in
the parasympathetic tone to the heart. Among adenosine G‐protein‐coupled receptors …

The hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR) is critical to breathing and thus oxygen supply to the
body and is primarily mediated by the carotid bodies. Here we reveal that carotid body …

Background: The carotid body (CB) plays a critical role in oxygen sensing; however, the role
of glutamatergic signaling in the CB response to hypoxia remains uncertain. We previously …

Several studies demonstrated a link between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the
development of insulin resistance. However, the main event triggering insulin resistance in …

Adenosine A2A receptors (A2AR) and dopamine D2 receptors (D2R) are known to be
involved in the physiological response to hypoxia, and their expression/activity may be …

Introduction Pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) is increased and right ventricular (RV) function
is well preserved in healthy subjects upon exposure to high altitude (HA). An increase in …
