Abstract Acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) can increase maximal strength of limb muscles in people with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI), but it is mostly untested in people without SCI. Acute intermittent hypercapnia (AIC) may engage similar respiratory circuits to AIH, but the effects of AIC on human limb motor output are unknown.

KISS1 and KISS1R expression in the human and rat carotid body and superior cervical ganglion [PDF]
KISS1 and its receptor, KISS1R, have both been found to be expressed in central nervous system, but few data are present in the literature about their distribution in peripheral nervous structures.

Mutations in the Lipopolysaccharide Biosynthesis Pathway Interfere with Crescentin-Mediated Cell Curvature in Caulobacter crescentus [PDF]
Bacterial cell morphogenesis requires coordination among multiple cellular systems, including the bacterial cytoskeleton and the cell wall. In the vibrioid bacterium Caulobacter crescentus, the intermediate filament-like protein crescentin forms a cell

elPBN neurons regulate rVLM activity through elPBN-rVLM projections during activation of cardiac sympathetic afferent nerves. [PDF]
The external lateral parabrachial nucleus (elPBN) within the pons and rostral ventrolateral medulla (rVLM) contributes to central processing of excitatory cardiovascular reflexes during stimulation of cardiac sympathetic afferent nerves (CSAN).

Culture of arterial chemoreceptor cells from adult cats in defined medium
Recently patch clamp techniques and optical fluorometric techniques have been applied to freshly dissociated or cultured carotid body. However, very few studies have shown the effects of the dissociation and/or culture conditions on the health and function of the cells. The purpose of this study was to develop a culture method which support healthy and

Cloning of the C-terminal cytoplasmic fragment of the tar protein and effects of the fragment on chemotaxis of Escherichia coli [PDF]
A gene encoding only the C-terminal portion of the receptor-transducer protein Tar of Escherichia coli was constructed. The gene product was detected and localized in the cytoplasmic fraction of the cell by immunoblotting with anti-Tar antibodies.

Cardiovascular, respiratory and splenic responses to rebreathing and apnoea during exercise
Abstract We investigated integrative physiological responses to eupnoeic exercise (EX), rebreathing exercise (RB), dynamic apnoea (DA) and dynamic apnoea with cold‐water face immersion (DAFI) in 20 healthy participants. Trials involved non‐steady‐state cycle exercise at 60 W for an average duration of 66 s.

Development of whole cell biosensors mediated by bacteria chemoreceptors (614.5)
Whole cell biosensors are part of an emerging strategy to build new tools for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. The goal is to re‐engineer bacterial cells to respond to environmental cues or chemicals. Whole cell biosensors typically express a sensor protein targeting the ligand of interest that is coupled with a genetic regulatory system to ...

Acute ketone monoester ingestion lowers resting cerebral blood flow: a randomized cross‐over trial
Abstract figure legend This double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, randomized cross‐over trial investigated the effects of ketone monoester (KME) ingestion on resting cerebral blood flow (CBF) in young adults. We demonstrate that KME supplementation lowers CBF in a dose‐dependent manner over 2‐houra post‐ingestion, whereas CBF remained unchanged following ...
