Technique and role of embolization using ethylene vinyl-alcohol copolymer before carotid body tumor resection [PDF]
Clinics and Practice, 2014 A 45-year old female referred for a large carotid body tumor resection. The tumor was encasing the internal (ICA) and external carotid arteries (ECA). She underwent angiogram and embolization of the ascending pharyngeal artery and a distal branch of the ...

Reciprocal modulation of tyrosine hydroxylasea activity in rat carotid body [PDF]
, 1979 The carotid body is an arterial chemoreceptor organ responsive to blood levels of pO2, pCOe and pH 13. The parenchymal tissue of the carotid body is composed mainly of two cell types: the glomus or Type I cells, which are disposed together in groups ...

Carotid Body Chemoreceptors: Physiology, Pathology, and Implications for Health and Disease.
Physiological Reviews, 2021 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 maintain homeostasis.

Hypoxia sensing requires H2S-dependent persulfidation of olfactory receptor 78 [PDF]
, 2023 Oxygen (O2) sensing by the carotid body is critical for maintaining cardiorespiratory homeostasis during hypoxia. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) signaling is implicated in carotid body activation by low O2. Here, we show that persulfidation of olfactory receptor
