The motivation for this review comes from the emerging complexity of the autonomic
innervation of the carotid body (CB) and its putative role in regulating chemoreceptor …

The carotid body is the primary peripheral chemoreceptor in the body, and critical for
respiration and cardiovascular adjustments during hypoxia. Yet considerable evidence now …

The carotid body may undergo plasticity changes during development/ageing and in
response to environmental (hypoxia and hyperoxia), metabolic, and inflammatory stimuli …

Introduction Our recent study in preeclampsia indicates differential oxidative stress in
various regions of the placenta. Oxidative stress is known to influence neurotrophin levels …

The carotid body (CB), a main peripheral arterial chemoreceptor, has lately been implicated
in the pathophysiology of various cardiovascular disorders. Emerging experimental …

Dopamine and histamine receptors D2R and H3R are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs)
which can establish physical receptor–receptor interactions (RRIs), leading to homo/hetero …

The carotid body (CB), the main peripheral arterial chemoreceptor, exhibits considerable
structural and neurochemical plasticity in response to pathological conditions such as high …

In the carotid body (CB), a wide series of neurotransmitters and neuromodulators have been
identified. They are mainly produced and released by type I cells and act on many different …

The carotid body (CB) is a multipurpose metabolic sensor that acts to initiate
cardiorespiratory reflex adjustments to maintain homeostasis of blood-borne chemicals …

In the last few years, a growing number of molecules have been associated to an endocrine
function of the skeletal muscle. Circulating myokine levels, in turn, have been associated …
