Interindividual variability in static apnoea performance is partly explained by genetic factors
Abstract A large interindividual variability exists in maximal apnoea duration and the physiological adjustments that occur during apnoea. Although a few genes have been found to be associated with some of the cardiovascular responses during apnoea, the extent to which genetic and environmental factors contribute to individual differences in apnoea ...

Influence of propofol on isolated neonatal rat carotid body glomus cell response to hypoxia and hypercapnia [PDF]
In humans the intravenous anaesthetic propofol depresses ventilatory responses to hypoxia and CO2. Animal studies suggest that this may in part be due to inhibition of synaptic transmission between chemoreceptor glomus cells of the carotid body and the ...

Tasting Arterial Blood: What do the Carotid Chemoreceptors Sense?
The carotid bodies are sensory organs that detect the chemical composition of the arterial blood. The carotid body sensory activity increases in response to arterial hypoxemia and the ensuing chemoreflex regulates vital homeostatic functions.
