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

Respiratory rhythm is generated and modulated in the brainstem. Neuronal involvement in
respiratory control and rhythmogenesis is now clearly established. However, glial cells have …

Inducing carotid body anoxia through the administration of cyanide can result in oxygen
deprivation. The lack of oxygen activates cellular responses in specific regions of the central …

Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) has been shown to alter the response of neurons in the
nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) to activation of cardiovascular inputs. Although the …

Aims Cerebral atrophy resulting from neurodegeneration is highly prevalent in individuals
with diabetes; however, the underlying mechanisms for diabetic neurodegeneration are not …

Carotid body chemoreceptors function as glucose sensors and contribute to glucose
homeostasis. The nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) is the first central nervous system (CNS) …

The repeated injection of insulin (unconditioned stimulus, UCS) immediately followed by
exposure to sensory stimulation (eg sound or odor; conditioned stimulus, CS) results in a …

To investigate the possibility that leptin exerts an effect in NTS by inducing changes in the
expression of pre-and/or post-synaptic proteins, experiments were done in Sprague–Dawley …

The application of sodium cyanide (NaCN) to the carotid body receptors (CBR)(CBR
stimulation) induces rapid blood hyperglycemia and an increase in brain glucose retention …

Résumé L'érythropoïétine (Epo) est une cytokine exprimée dans le système nerveux central
(CNS). A l'âge adulte, elle agit comme modulateur respiratoire dans le tronc cérébral en …
