Abstract
Carotid chemoreceptor activity was increased by the perfusion of the carotid body in vivo with hypoxic HEPES-buffered solution (HBS) containing CO2/HCO3- (HBA+), but not with hypoxic HBS without CO2/HCO3- (HBS-). When the perfusate was switched to hypoxic HBS+ during hypoxic HBS-perfusions, chemoreceptor activity increased immediately. Thus, CO2/HCO3- played a critical role in the hypoxic chemotransduction of the in vivo perfused carotid body.Entities:
