There are two sets of these cells: the central chemoreceptors and the peripheral chemoreflex. The central chemoreceptors, located in the brain, "primarily just respond to carbon dioxide," Bain said.

In fetal life, peripheral chemoreceptor stimulation by hypoxia or hypercapnia produces bradycardia and peripheral vasoconstriction (1, 2). After birth, however, the same stimuli cause ...

Specialised receptors (chemoreceptors) respond to chemical changes in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Peripheral chemoreceptors in the aortic arch and the carotid bodies respond to changes in ...

The research team found the peripheral chemoreceptors were indeed overactive in adults with diabetes, with the highest level of activity associated with patients with the highest blood sugar.

The research team found the peripheral chemoreceptors were indeed overactive in adults with diabetes, with the highest level of activity associated with patients with the highest blood sugar.

The autonomic nervous system innervates all body organs, including the cardiovascular system. Smooth muscle in arteries, arterioles, and veins and pericytes in capillaries receive autonomic ...

“The hypertensive diabetic state is associated with increased reflex sensitivity and tonic drive from the peripheral chemoreceptors, the cause of which is unknown.” “We’ve known for a long ...
