The Role of Carbonic Anhydrase in the Modulation of Central Respiratory-related pH/CO2 Chemoreceptor-stimulated Breathing in the Leopard Frog (Rana pipiens) Following Chronic Hypoxia and Chronic Hypercapnia

The aim of this thesis was to elucidate the role of carbonic anhydrase (CA) in the modulation of central pH/CO2-sensitive fictive breathing (measured using in vitro brainstem-spinal cord preparations) in leopard frogs (Rana pipiens) following exposure to chronic hypercapnia (CHC) and chronic hypoxia...
