Solitary chemoreceptor cell proliferation in adult nasal epithelium [PDF]
Nasal trigeminal chemosensitivity in mice and rats is mediated in part by solitary chemoreceptor cells (SCCs) in the nasal epithelium (Finger et al., 2003). Many nasal SCCs express the G-protein alpha-gustducin as well as other elements of the bitter-taste signaling cascade including phospholipase Cbeta2, TRPM5 and T2R bitter-taste receptors.

Hypoxic regulation of ion channel function and expression [PDF]
Acute hypoxia regulates the activity of specific ion channels in a rapid and reversible manner. Such effects underlie appropriate cellular responses to hypoxia which are designed to initiate cardiorespiratory reflexes and contribute importantly to other ...

Defining Two Chemosensory Arrays in Shewanella oneidensis
Shewanella oneidensis has 2 functional chemosensory systems named Che1 and Che3, and 27 chemoreceptors. Che3 is dedicated to chemotaxis while Che1 could be involved in RpoS post-translational regulation.

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).

Magnetic resonance and computed tomography imaging of a carotid body tumor in a dog [PDF]
A 5-year-old castrated male Labrador Retriever was presented to a referring veterinarian for a swelling in the neck region. Based on the results of histopathology, a carotid body tumor, was diagnosed.

Solitary chemoreceptor cell survival is independent of intact trigeminal innervation [PDF]
AbstractNasal solitary chemoreceptor cells (SCCs) are a population of specialized chemosensory epithelial cells presumed to broaden trigeminal chemoreceptivity in mammals (Finger et al. [2003] Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 100:8981–8986). SCCs are innervated by peptidergic trigeminal nerve fibers (Finger et al.

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.

Interactions of chemostimuli at the single cell level: studies in a model system [PDF]
The responses of afferent chemosensory fibres of the carotid body to individual chemostimuli have long been established. However, the mechanisms underlying the multiplicative interactions of these stimuli (i.e.
