Comparative Genomics of Microbial Chemoreceptor Sequence, Structure, and Function

, 2014
Microbial chemotaxis receptors (chemoreceptors) are complex proteins that sense the external environment and signal for flagella-mediated motility, serving as the GPS of the cell. In order to sense a myriad of physicochemical signals and adapt to diverse

The role of acid‐base balance in cerebrovascular and ventilatory responses to CO2 during 10 h normobaric hypoxia

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend During 10 h exposures to normobaric hypoxia exposure there was a selective leftward shift in ventilatory response to hyperoxic hypercapnic rebreathing, but not the cerebrovascular response. The key findings are that the resetting of the central chemoreflex to lower PCO2${P_{{\mathrm{C}}{{\mathrm{O}}_2}}}$ during early hypoxic ...

Differential expression of large conductance Ca2+-activated K channels in the carotid body between DBA/2J and A/J strains of mice

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2011
The carotid body (CB) is a primary chemosensory organ for arterial hypoxia. Inhibition of K channels in chemosensory glomus cells (GCs) are considered to be responsible for hypoxic chemoreception and/or chemotransduction of the CB. Hypoxic sensitivity of

Effects of nocturnal periodic breathing on sympathetic nerve activity and ventilatory control at high altitude: a randomised, crossover study

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic overview of the randomised crossover study investigating the effects of nocturnal periodic breathing (nPB) on sympathetic activity and ventilatory acclimatisation in hypobaric hypoxia equivalent to 4000 m altitude. Participants completed two 3‐day sojourns where nPB was inhibited by increasing inspiratory CO2 fraction ...

Interaction of chemoreceptor effects and its dependence on the intensity of stimuli

, 1982
We have studied the way in which carotid and medullary chemoreceptor effects combine to control respiration in pentobarbital anesthetized dogs. The carotid sinuses were autoperfused from a membrane oxygenator system to produce either normoxic or hypoxic-

Ventilatory and cerebrovascular responses to exercise in lowlander children acclimatizing to high‐altitude

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend To investigate age‐related differences in ventilatory and cerebrovascular responses to exercise at high‐altitude, adults (n = 10, 23–44 years) and children (n = 8, 7–14 years) completed progressive cycling exercise tests at sea‐level and following 6 days of acclimatization at 3800 m.

Aortic and carotid chemoreceptor responses to metabolic acidosis in the cat

, 1983
The effect of metabolic acidosis on the activity of aortic chemoreceptor afferents and their responses to hypoxia and hypercapnia were investigated in nine cats anesthetized with alpha-chloralose, paralyzed, and artificially ventilated.

Hypoxia and hypercapnia elicit overlapping but distinct skeletal muscle toxicities

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Hypoxia and hypercapnia cause overlapping skeletal muscle phenotypes, including atrophy, change in myofibre metabolic profile and myogenic response to injury. Both signals operate via distinct cellular pathways. Abstract Skeletal muscle dysfunction is strongly associated with elevated mortality in acute and chronic pulmonary ...

Nitric oxide and carotid body chemoreception

Biological Research, 2001
Nitric oxide (NO) has been proposed as an inhibitory modulator of carotid body chemosensory responses to hypoxia. It is believed that NO modulates carotid chemoreception by several mechanisms, which include the control of carotid body vascular tone and ...
