ACh and ATP mediate excitatory transmission in cat carotid identified chemoreceptor units in vitro (Elsevier, 2003)Several molecules have been proposed as excitatory transmitters between glomus (type 1) cells and nerve terminals of petrosal ganglion (PG) neurons in the carotid body (CB). We tested whether ACh and ATP have a role to ...
-
(1997)We studied the effects of sodium nitroprusside, a nitric oxide donor, on the chemosensory responses to cyanide and nicotine in the cat carotid body. In situ, sodium nitroprusside infusion reduced the cyanide-evoked responses ...
-
(Elsevier, 2016-10-15)Ventilation is peripherally controlled by afferent activity arising from the peripheral chemoreceptors. In the rat, chemosensory activity is conveyed to the central nervous system through axons of neurons located in the ...
-
(1999)We have recently reported that application of acetylcholine (ACh) or nicotine to the petrosal ganglion - the sensory ganglion of the glossopharyngeal nerve - elicits a burst of discharges in the carotid nerve branch, ...

(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2007-01-12)Exposure to chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) for 4 days enhances the cat carotid body (CB) chemosensory responses to acute hypoxia. However, it is not known if CIH enhances the responses of the petrosal ganglion (PG) ...

(2007)Exposure to chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) for 4 days enhances the cat carotid body (CB) chemosensory responses to acute hypoxia. However, it is not known if CIH enhances the responses of the petrosal ganglion (PG) ...
-
(2012)The carotid bodies (CBs) are chemosensory organs that respond to hypoxemia with transmitter neurosecretion, leading to a respiratory reflex response. It has been proposed that acetylcholine is a key regulator of transmitter ...
-
(Elsevier, 2012)Nitric oxide (NO), at physiological concentrations, is a tonic inhibitory modulator of carotid body (CB) chemosensory discharges. NO modulates the chemoreception process by several mechanisms, indirectly by modifying the ...
-
(Elsevier, 1999)NaCN is a classical stimulus used to elicit discharges from carotid body chemoreceptors. The effect is assumed to be mediated by glomus (type I) cells, which release an excitatory transmitter for the excitation of carotid ...
-
(1998)The petrosal ganglion innervates carotid body chemoreceptors through the carotid (sinus) nerve. These primary sensory neurons are activated by transmitters released from receptor (glomus) cells, acetylcholine (ACh) having ...
-
(1998)We studied the effects of the nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor, Nω- nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), and the NO donor, sodium nitroprusside (SNP) on cat chemosensory responses to intravenous injections of NaCN ...

(Springer New York LLC, 2018)© 2018, Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature. The carotid body (CB) is the main arterial chemoreceptor involved in oxygen sensing. Upon hypoxic stimulation, CB chemoreceptor cells release ...
