Expression of group II and III mGluRs in the carotid body and its role in the carotid chemoreceptor response to acute hypoxia
The carotid body (CB) contributes significantly to oxygen sensing. It is unclear, however, whether glutamatergic signaling is involved in the CB response to hypoxia. Previously, we reported that ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) and multiple glutamate transporters are present in the rat CB. Ex...
