Resetting and postnatal maturation of oxygen chemosensitivity in rat carotid chemoreceptor cells [PDF]
1. Carotid chemoreceptor sensitivity is minimal immediately after birth and increases with postnatal age. In the present study we have investigated the peri- and postnatal developmental time course of [Ca2+]i responses to hypoxia in clusters of type I cells isolated from near-term fetal rats and rats that were 1, 3, 7, 11, 14 and 21 days old, using the

Ibuprofen Blunts Ventilatory Acclimatization to Sustained Hypoxia in Humans. [PDF]
Ventilatory acclimatization to hypoxia is a time-dependent increase in ventilation and the hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR) that involves neural plasticity in both carotid body chemoreceptors and brainstem respiratory centers.

The carotid body as a putative therapeutic target for the treatment of neurogenic hypertension [PDF]
In the spontaneously hypertensive (SH) rat, hyperoxic inactivation of the carotid body (CB) produces a rapid and pronounced fall in both arterial pressure and renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSA).

KISS1 and KISS1R expression in the human and rat carotid body and superior cervical ganglion
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.

The Interaction of RecA With Both CheA and CheW Is Required for Chemotaxis
Salmonella enterica is the most frequently reported cause of foodborne illness. As in other microorganisms, chemotaxis affords key physiological benefits, including enhanced access to growth substrates, but also plays an important role in infection and ...

Chemotaxis is an important virulence factor of the foodborne pathogen Campylobacter jejuni. Inactivation of chemoreceptor Tlp3 reduces the ability of C. jejuni to invade human and chicken cells and to colonise the jejunal mucosa of mice. Knowledge of the

Neural regulation of cardiovascular response to exercise: role of central command and peripheral afferents [PDF]
During dynamic exercise, mechanisms controlling the cardiovascular apparatus operate to provide adequate oxygen to fulfill metabolic demand of exercising muscles and to guarantee metabolic end-products washout.

Characteristics of 5‐HT‐containing chemoreceptor cells of the chicken aortic body
1. Voltage-dependent and oxygen-sensitive currents in 5-HT-containing epithelioid cells isolated from chicken thoracic aorta were examined using the whole-cell patch clamp technique. 5-HT immunoreactive cells were identified with Neutral Red. The release of 5-HT from chicken thoracic aorta in the presence of excess KCl and veratridine was also examined

Engineered single‐ and multi‐cell chemotaxis pathways in E. coli
We have engineered the chemotaxis system of Escherichia coli to respond to molecules that are not attractants for wild‐type cells. The system depends on an artificially introduced enzymatic activity that converts the target molecule into a ligand for an ...
