The arterial partial pressure (P CO2) of carbon dioxide is virtually constant because of the close match between the metabolic production of this gas and its excretion via breathing. Blood gas ...

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.

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.

Peripheral chemoreceptors (PChRs), because of their strategic localization at the bifurcation of the common carotid artery and along the aortic arch, play an important protective role against hypoxia.

“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 ...

are peripheral chemoreceptors, which are primary sensors of systemic hypoxia and their activation produces respiratory, autonomic, and cardiovascular adjustments critical for body homeostasis. We have ...
