Regulation of Ca2+ signals in rat carotid glomus cells [PDF]
Glomus cells of the carotid body are peripheral chemoreceptors that detect changes in arterial oxygen levels. Hypoxia suppresses oxygen-sensitive K+ channels in glomus cells, resulting in cytosolic [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]i) elevation in glomus cells via the ...

Noninvasive Imaging of Carotid Arterial Strain Using Displacement-Encoded MRI [PDF]
Stroke is the leading cause of disability in the United States and the third leading cause of death. These “brain attacks” occur when atherosclerosis, the progressive process of thickening and hardening of arterial walls, develops in the carotid ...

Long-term risk of carotid restenosis in patients randomly assigned to endovascular treatment or endarterectomy in the Carotid and Vertebral Artery Transluminal Angioplasty Study (CAVATAS): long-term follow-up of a randomised trial [PDF]
Background In the Carotid and Vertebral Artery Transluminal Angioplasty Study (CAVATAS), early recurrent carotid stenosis was more common in patients assigned to endovascular treatment than it was in patients assigned to endarterectomy (CEA), raising ...

Glomus tumors, also known as paragangliomas or chemodectomas, are usually slow–growing, benign, highly vascular tumors of neuroendocrine origin. Glomus tumors (paragangliomas) represent 0.6% of neoplasms of the head and neck and 0.03% of all neoplasms ...

A cohort study of duplex Doppler examinations of the carotid artery in primary open angle glaucoma [PDF]
Objectives To explore the possibility of pathological change in the common carotid artery at the bifurcation and in the internal carotid artery beyond the bifurcation which could contribute to a reduced diastolic pressure as observed in primary open ...

Immunohistochemical Detection of PIEZO Ion Channels in the Human Carotid Sinus and Carotid Body
The carotid sinus and the carotid body are major peripheral chemo- and baro(mechano)receptors that sense changes in arterial wall pressure and in oxygen, carbon dioxide, and pH in arterial blood.

HIF-2α is essential for carotid body development and function
Mammalian adaptation to oxygen flux occurs at many levels, from shifts in cellular metabolism to physiological adaptations facilitated by the sympathetic nervous system and carotid body (CB).

Cyclic variation of the common carotid artery structure in relation to prior atherosclerotic burden and physical activity [PDF]
Background and aims: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounts for the most deaths of non-communicable diseases worldwide. It begins with structural and functional changes of the arterial system commonly known as the atherosclerotic process, starting ...

Rotenone selectively occludes sensitivity to hypoxia in rat carotid body glomus cells [PDF]
Carotid body glomus cells release transmitters in response to hypoxia due to the increase of excitability resulting from inhibition of O2 -regulated K+ channels. However, the mechanisms involved in the detection of changes of O2 tension are unknown.
