 | | We have studied the effects of several inhibitors of NADPH oxidase on the normoxic and hypoxia-induced release of 3H-catecholamine (3H-CA) in an in vitro preparation of intact CB of the rat and rabbit whose CA deposits have been labeled by prior incubation with the natural precursor 3H-tyrosine. |
 | | Concentrations of DPI reported to produce full inhibition of NADPH oxidase in the rat CB did not prevent the hypoxic release response in the rat and rabbit CB chemoreceptor cells, as stimulation with hypoxia in the presence of DPI elicited a response equaling the sum of that produced by DPI and hypoxia applied separately. |
 | | Based upon the effects of neopterin and phenylarsine oxide it is concluded that NADPH oxidase does not appear to play a role in oxygen-sensing or transduction in the rat and rabbit CB chemoreceptor cells in vitro and, in the context of the present study, that DPI effects are not related to NADPH oxidase inhibition. |
