Evidence is available about the role of inflammatory/immunological factors in the physiology
and plasticity of the carotid body, with potential clinical implications in obstructive sleep …

Hypoxic stimulation of the carotid body receptors (CBR) results in a rapid hyperglycemia
with an increase in brain glucose retention. Previous work indicates that …

The carotid body receptors participate in glucose regulation sensing glucose levels in blood
entering the cephalic circulation. The carotid body receptors information, is initially …

Neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS), which catalyzes the generation of nitric oxide (NO),
is expressed by neuron subpopulations in the CNS. Nitric oxide is involved in …

Background and Objectives: The commissural nucleus of the tractus solitarius (cNTS) not
only responds to glucose levels directly, but also receives afferent signals from the liver, and …

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Carotid body (CB) sinus perfusion with different glucose
concentrations modifies arterial glucose concentration and brain glucose retention, thereby …

In contrast to most other tissues, which exhibit considerable flexibility with respect to the
nature of the substrates for their energy metabolism, the normal brain is restricted almost …

Se realizó un estudio experimental, con el objetivo de medir la acción del óxido nítrico (NO)
en la captación de glucosa cerebral, después de la estimulación con cianuro de sodio …

Leptin is a protein hormone that plays a key role in the regulation of energy balance and
glucose homeostasis. Leptin and all leptin receptor isoforms are present in the carotid …
