Regulation of Ca2+ signals in rat carotid glomus cells [PDF]
, 2013 Glomus cells of the carotid body are peripheral chemoreceptors that detect changes in arterial oxygen levels. Hypoxia suppresses oxygen-sensitive K+ channels in glomus cells, resulting in cytosolic [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]i) elevation in glomus cells via the ...

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 Introduction: Acute lung injury (ALI) initiates an inflammatory cascade that impairs gas exchange, induces hypoxemia, and causes an increase in respiratory rate (fR). This stimulates the carotid body (CB) chemoreflex, a fundamental protective reflex that

Diversity of cultured isolates and field populations of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus "Glomus intraradices" : development and application of molecular detection methods for mitochondrial haplotypes [PDF]
, 2010 Today’s plant communities have evolved together with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF, Glomeromycota) for millions of years. In “arbuscular mycorrhiza”, a mutualistic symbiosis, plants provide carbohydrates to the fungi, which in turn make mineral ...

Gene induction during plant-microbe interactions : the role of chitinases during fungal infection and the investigation of mycorrhiza-induced genes in the model plant "M. truncatula" [PDF]
, 2007 In this thesis, the model legume Medicago truncatula was used for research on plant-microbe interactions. Unlike most other plants, legumes are able to form two distinct root symbioses. Together with soil-borne fungi of the Glomeromycota, they form the

Plantar Angioleiomyoma Masquerading as a Hyperkeratotic Lesion: A Case Report. [PDF]
Clin Case RepABSTRACT Plantar angioleiomyoma may mimic a refractory hyperkeratotic lesion such as a corn. Progressive enlargement, persistent weight‐bearing pain, and failure of keratolytic therapy should prompt further evaluation. Doppler ultrasonography can help identify a deep vascular tumor and guide definitive excision, and histopathological examination ...

Unilateral lower limb atrophy associated with glomus tumors: a case report
Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2021 Background Glomus tumors are soft tissue neoplasms comprised of glomus cells, vasculature, and smooth muscle cells, which occur commonly in a single subungual area of the digits, and their main clinical features include severe paroxysmal pain, localized ...

Perinatal hyperoxia exposure impairs hypoxia-induced depolarization in rat carotid body glomus cells
Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology, 2013 Chronic post-natal hyperoxia reduces the hypoxic ventilatory response by reducing the carotid body sensitivity to acute hypoxia as demonstrated by a reduced afferent nerve response, reduced calcium response of carotid body glomus cells and reduced ...

Primary pancreatic glomus tumor invading into the superior mesenteric vein: a case report
Surgical Case Reports, 2020 Background Glomus tumors are subcutaneous tumors arising from glomus bodies, thermoregulatory components of the skin. These tumors could occur in visceral organs where glomus bodies are not normally present. Herein, we report a case of primary pancreatic

Glomus tumor of the rectum: A case report
Human Pathology: Case Reports, 2017 Glomus tumors are mesenchymal tumors composed of modified smooth muscle cells representing a neoplastic counterpart of the perivascular glomus bodies. They are most common in the skin and subcutaneous tissue, but also occur in the viscera.

MORPHOLOGICAL AND NEW NEUROCHEMICAL ASPECTS OF THE MAMMALIAN CAROTID BODY [PDF]
Trakia Journal of Sciences, 2019 The carotid body (CB) is a polymodal chemosensory organ that plays an essential role in initiating respiratory and cardiovascular adjustments to maintain blood gas homeostasis. It is strategically located at the carotid bifurcation.
