Are Multiple Mitochondrial Related Signalling Pathways Involved in Carotid Body Oxygen Sensing?
It is generally acknowledged that the carotid body (CB) type I cell mitochondria are unique, being inhibited by relatively small falls in PaO2 well above those known to inhibit electron transport in other cell types. This feature is suggested to allow for the CB to function as an acute O2 sensor, be...
