The Importance of Flowmetry in Carotid Body Tumor Surgery: A Case Report
Eurasian Journal of Medicine, 2019 Carotid body tumors arise from the embryonic neural crest. These tumors are mostly benign, and they rarely show character. Bifurcation of the carotid body cells originates from a common carotid paraganglion; a tumoral mass lateral to the carotid ...

Association between serum Mg2+ concentrations and cardiovascular organ damage in a cohort of adult subjects [PDF]
, 2020 Magnesium (Mg2+) levels are associated with insulin resistance, hypertension, atherosclerosis, and type 2 diabetes (T2DM). We evaluated the clinical utility of physiological Mg2+ in assessing subclinical cardiovascular organ damage including increased ...

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

The carotid body as a putative therapeutic target for the treatment of neurogenic hypertension [PDF]
, 2013 In the spontaneously hypertensive (SH) rat, hyperoxic inactivation of the carotid body (CB) produces a rapid and pronounced fall in both arterial pressure and renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSA).

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.
