Hemodynamic and ventilatory response to different levels of hypoxia and hypercapnia in carotid body-denervated rats

Hemodynamic and ventilatory response to different levels of hypoxia and hypercapnia in carotid body-denervated rats

OBJECTIVE: Chemoreceptors play an important role in the autonomic modulation of circulatory and ventilatory responses to changes in arterial O2 and/or CO2. However, studies evaluating hemodynamic responses to hypoxia and hypercapnia in rats have shown inconsistent results. Our aim was to evaluate he...
