Role of reactive oxygen species in mediating peripheral hypoxic vasodilation and sympathoexcitation at high altitude

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend High‐altitude acclimatisation increases muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) via activation of the arterial chemoreflex, pulmonary arterial baroreceptors and resetting of the sympathetic vascular baroreflex. However attempting to silence these mechanisms only partially normalises MSNA, implicating other contributory ...

Central-peripheral chemoreceptor interaction in awake cerebrospinal fluid-perfused goats

open access: yes, 1984
We assessed the ventilatory interaction between central [central nervous system (CNS)] and peripheral chemoreceptor stimuli in five awake goats. CNS extracellular fluid (ECF) [H+] was altered with cisterna magna perfusion of mock CSF.

SARS‐CoV‐2 targets mitochondria, exacerbating COVID‐19 pneumonia

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Following entry into airway epithelial cells (AECs), SARS‐CoV‐2 releases its single‐stranded RNA into the cytoplasm, where it is translated into viral proteins. Several of these viral proteins localize to mitochondria and interact with key mitochondrial components.

Excitatory amino acid receptors within NTS mediate arterial chemoreceptor reflexes in rats

open access: yes, 1993
The nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) is the primary site of termination of arterial baroreceptor and chemoreceptor afferent fibers. Excitatory amino acid (EAA) receptors within NTS have been shown to play an important role in the mediation of arterial ...

Mechanisms reducing parasympathetic activity in chronic hypoxia

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Parasympathetic activity is reduced in chronic hypoxia, but the underlying mechanism(s) are unclear. Using β‐adrenergic blockade to isolate parasympathetic control of heart rate at sea level and after 9‐12 days at high altitude, we investigated whether (i) chemoreflex activation, (ii) increased pulmonary ventilation and/or (iii ...

Maxik potassium channels in the function of chemoreceptor cells of the rat carotid body

open access: yes, 2013
Hypoxia activates chemoreceptor cells of the carotid body (CB) promoting an increase in their normoxic release of neurotransmitters. Catecholamine (CA) release rate parallels the intensity of hypoxia.

The influence of metaboreflex activation on pulmonary pressure with combined chemoreflex activation in acute and chronic hypoxia

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Activation of both the metaboreflex via post‐exercise circulatory occlusion and the chemoreflex via acute and chronic hypoxia increased pulmonary artery systolic pressure. Coactivation of these reflexes further increased pulmonary artery pressure in an additive manner.

Tonic arterial chemoreceptor activity contributes to cardiac sympathetic activation in mild ovine heart failure

open access: yes, 2014
Heart failure (HF) is associated with a large increase in cardiac sympathetic nerve activity (CSNA), which has detrimental effects on the heart and promotes arrhythmias and sudden death. There is increasing evidence that arterial chemoreceptor activation

Central and peripheral chemoreceptor inputs to phrenic and hypoglossal motoneurons

open access: yes, 1982
We tested the hypothesis that phrenic and hypoglossal responses to progressive hypercapnia differ qualitatively because the CO2-related drive inputs to their respective motoneuron pools are different.

Ventilatory and heart rate responses to hypoxia in pre‐ and post‐menopausal ethnically Tibetan women residing at ∼3800 m in Mustang, Nepal

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Tibetan women livingat high altitude exhibit distinct physiological traits that can enhance oxygen transport in chronic hypoxia. Menopausal status influences cardiopulmonary responses to hypoxia in women living at low altitudes.
