	Why some neonates need caffeine
		Peripheral chemoreceptor activity is typically assessed by monitoring the rapid decline in minute ventilation (in the first minute) after inhalation of pure O2.
		Second, the data obtained strongly suggests that the effectiveness of chemoreceptor activity is enhanced during caffeine administration, because the drug amplifies the drop in ventilation compared with controls.
		This study demonstrates that peripheral chemoreceptor activity is increased by caffeine in premature neonates.

	Mycorrhiza Literature Exchange
		[Ca2+](i) measurements under hypoxic conditions and immunocytochemistry experiments in dispersed CB cells demonstrated the expression of Kv3.4 and Kv4.3 in oxygen-sensitive cells; the presence of Kv3.4 in the chemoreceptor cell membrane was not required for the response to low P-O2.
		In summary, three Kv subunits (Kv3.4, Kv4.1 and Kv4.3) may be involved in the fast-inactivating outward K+ current of rabbit CB chemoreceptor cells.
		The homogeneous distribution of the Kv4 subunits in chemoreceptor cells, along with their electrophysiological properties, suggest that Kv4.1, Kv4.3, or their heteromultimers, are the molecular correlate of the oxygen-sensitive K+ channel.

	Mycorrhiza Literature Exchange
		We investigated the effect of almitrine on ionic currents of chemoreceptor cells isolated from the carotid body of rat and rabbits by using the whole-cell and inside-out configurations of the patch-clamp technique.
		This effect of almitrine on the Ca2+-dependent component of K+ currents was investigated further at the single-channel level in excised patches in the inside-out configuration.
		We conclude that almitrine inhibits selectively the Ca2+-dependent K+ channel and that in rat chemoreceptor cells, this inhibition could represent an important mechanism of action underlying the therapeutic actions of the drug.

		The vomiting center is in the reticular formation of the medulla and is excited directly by visceral afferent impulses (sympathetic and vagal) arising from the gastrointestinal tract and other peripheral trigger areas.
		The chemoreceptor trigger zone is on the floor of the fourth ventricle, on the blood side of the blood-brain barrier.
		The chemoreceptor trigger zone is unable to cause vomiting without an intact vomiting center.

	Chemoreceptor Organs - The Merck Veterinary Manual
		Chemoreceptor organs are sensitive barometers of changes in the carbon dioxide and oxygen content and pH of the blood and aid in the regulation of respiration and circulation.
		Although chemoreceptor tissue appears to be widely distributed in the body, tumors develop principally in the aortic (more frequent in animals) and carotid bodies (more frequent in humans).
		The histologic characteristics of chemoreceptor tumors (“chemodectomas”) are essentially similar whether derived from the carotid or aortic body.

		The influence of clonidine on the reflex vascular responses to stimulation of carotid body chemoreceptors and bilateral carotid occlusion was studied in morphine, chloralose-urethane anesthetized dogs.
		The facilitation of chemoreceptor reflex responses by clonidine was observed in dogs with intact or sectioned vagi and in animals in which the carotid arteries were perfused at constant blood flow.
		The data suggest that clonidine exerts central actions which result in a facilitation of the chemoreceptor reflex and a simultaneously occuring hypotension which is probably due to an action on baroreceptor pathways.

		On the right is a model of the Trg periplasmic domain based on the structure of the Tar periplasmic domain (32) and an alignment of chemoreceptor sequences (Megan Peach, unpublished results).
		Membranes containing no chemoreceptors (none), wild-type Trg (WT), or a mutant form of Trg (designated by the wild-type amino acid, residue number, and replacing amino acid) were assayed for activation of CheA by measuring levels of phospho-CheY in a coupled system.
		The forms of Trg were expressed at levels significantly higher than the level characteristic of a high-abundance receptor approximating the cellular content used in reference 43.

		Bacteria employ transmembrane chemoreceptors known as methyl- accepting chemotaxis proteins (MCPs) to mediate a variety of adaptive behaviors.
		MCP molecules have an external ligand-binding domain for monitoring attractant or repellent levels in the environment and a cytoplasmic signaling domain for communicating with the flagellar rotary motors (Fig.
		To explore the structure and function of the MCP signaling complex, we identified soluble fragments of the serine chemoreceptor, Tsr, that could activate the CheA kinase, both in vivo and in vitro.

		Arterial baroreceptors and chemoreceptors provide the brain with a constant barrage of information regarding the level of blood pressure and blood gases, respectively.
		We are using a multi-disciplinary approach to determine how baroreceptor and chemoreceptor information is integrated within the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS), the initial site in the central nervous system to receive baroreceptor and chemoreceptor information.
		In vivo (intracellular and extracellular) and in vitro (whole cell patch clamp) electrophysiological techniques are used to examine the physiological and pharmacological mechanisms which underlie the integration of baroreceptor and chemoreceptor inputs by neurons of the NTS.
