Carotid body, insulin, and metabolic diseases: unraveling the links

From an analysis of histological sections taken at sample intervals of 50 µm, the fol- lowing information was obtained by estima- tions using Simpson’s rule: 1) carotid body area

with studies that demonstrated an increase in sympathetic activity in animals with aortic denervation (33), as well as a reduced baroreceptor function of carotid baroreceptors,

for several related mechanisms by which insulin resistance might contribute to the development of endothelial dysfunc- tion in obesity-associated hypertension.. Sympathetic

The results indicate that the level of insulin resistance must be monitored in adolescents with excess weight and body fat, as it seems that, the higher the

Four categories of metabolic syndrome components were considered: body composition (assessed by BMI and WC), glucose metabolism (assessed by fasting glucose, fasting insulin

Chronic hypoxia enhances endothelin-1-induced intracellular calcium ele- vation in rat carotid body chemoreceptors and up-regulates ETA receptor
