Peripheral chemoreceptors, found in the carotid and aortic bodies and stimulated by chemical changes in blood composition, provide feed-forward control of respiration, which can thus terminate ...

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

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.

The research team found the peripheral chemoreceptors were indeed overactive in adults with diabetes, with the highest level ...

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 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.

Sleep apnea is thought to be caused by increased sensitivity in the peripheral chemoreceptors found in the carotid arteries, which detect changes in arterial blood oxygen (hypoxia) and initiate ...
