Recent advances in understanding the physiology of hypoxic sensing by the carotid body

Hypoxia resulting from reduced oxygen (O (2)) levels in the arterial blood is sensed by the carotid body (CB) and triggers reflex stimulation of breathing and blood pressure to maintain homeostasis. Studies in the past five years provided novel insights into the roles of heme oxygenase-2 (HO-2), a c...
