20th century. Following these seminal discoveries, research into carotid body mechanisms …

The respiratory response to hypoxia in mammals develops from an inhibition of breathing
movements in utero into a sustained increase in ventilation in the adult. This ventilatory …

The respiratory rhythm is generated by the interaction of oscillators disparately distributed
throughout the pons, medulla, and spinal cord. According to the classic model, the …

GABA B receptors belong to family III G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and are widely
distributed in the peripheral and central nervous systems. The GABA B receptor is one of the …

Ventilatory and neuroendocrine counter-regulatory responses during hypoglycaemia are
essential in order to maintain glycolysis and prevent rises in P a CO 2 leading to systemic …

Hypoxia in neonates can cause permanent brain damage by gene and receptor level
alterations mediated through changes in neurotransmitters. The present study evaluated …
