Characterization of ectonucleotidase expression in the rat carotid body: regulation by chronic hypoxia
Abstract
The carotid body (CB) chemoreflex maintains blood Po2 and Pco2/H+ homeostasis and displays sensory plasticity during exposure to chronic hypoxia. Purinergic signaling via P1 and P2 receptors plays a pivotal role in shaping the afferent discharge at the sensory synapse containing catecholaminergic chemoreceptor (type I) cells, glial-like type II cells, and sensory (petrosal) nerve endings. However, little is known about the family of …
