Glucose sensing by carotid body glomus cells: potential implications in disease

The carotid body (CB) is a key chemoreceptor organ in which glomus cells sense changes in blood O(2), CO(2), and pH levels. CB glomus cells have also been found to detect hypoglycemia in both non-primate mammals and humans. O(2) and low-glucose responses share a common final pathway involving membra...
