Airway obstruction produces widespread sympathoexcitation: role of hypoxia, carotid chemoreceptors, and NTS neurotransmission

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common respiratory disturbance of sleep and is closely associated to cardiovascular diseases. In humans, apnea increases respiratory effort and elevates muscle sympathetic nerve activity (SNA), but the primary stimulus for the SNA activation has not been ide...
