Tissue-specific mitochondrial HIGD1C promotes oxygen sensitivity in carotid body chemoreceptors
eLife, 2022 Mammalian carotid body arterial chemoreceptors function as an early warning system for hypoxia, triggering acute life-saving arousal and cardiorespiratory reflexes. To serve this role, carotid body glomus cells are highly sensitive to decreases in oxygen

Differences in ultrasound-derived arterial wall stiffness parameters and noninvasive blood pressure between Friesian horses and Warmblood horses [PDF]
, 2020 Background: Aortic rupture is more common in Friesians compared to Warmbloods, which might be related to differences in arterial wall composition and, as such, arterial wall stiffness (AWS).

Carotid body: a metabolic sensor implicated in insulin resistance.
Physiological Genomics, 2018 The carotid body is now looked at as a multipurpose sensor for blood gases, blood pH, and several hormones. The matter of glucose sensing by the carotid body has been debated for several years in the literature, and these days there is a consensus that ...

The Carotid Body a Common Denominator for Cardiovascular and Metabolic Dysfunction?
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 The carotid body is a highly vascularized organ designed to monitor oxygen levels. Reducing oxygen levels in blood results in increased activity of the carotid body cells and reflex increases in sympathetic nerve activity.

Coexistence of a Carotid Body Tumor and Thyroglossal Duct Carcinoma With Cervical Lymph Node Metastasis [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology, 2014 Thyroglossal duct carcinoma is uncommon, occurring in approximately 1% of all thyroglossal duct remnants. This rare neoplasm is characterized by relatively nonaggressive behavior with infrequent lymph nodal spread.

Carotid baroreceptor reflexes in humans during orthostatic stress [PDF]
, 2001 Orthostatic stress, including standing, head-up tilting and lower body suction, results in increases in peripheral vascular resistance but little or no change in mean arterial pressure.

A preliminary anatomical study on carotid body of Makouei sheep [PDF]
Veterinary Research Forum, 2013 The carotid is a small mass of chemoreceptor's and sustentacular cells that detects changes in the composition of the arterial blood. The aim of the present study was to identify the size, color, location, blood and nerve supply of the carotid body in ...

Carotid Body Tumour: A Rare Case Report [PDF]
International Journal of Anatomy Radiology and Surgery, 2017 Carotid Body Tumour (CBT) is a uncommon tumour which arises from a chemoreceptor tissue, which is present at the bifurcation of common carotid arteries. Not many case reports have been reported for carotid body tumours. We report an unusual case of a
