Introduction: The major oxygen sensors in the human body are peripheral chemoreceptors. also known as interoreceptors- as connected with internal organs, located in the aortic arch and in the body of the common carotid artery. Chemoreceptor function under physiological conditions. Stimulation of peripheral chemoreceptors during enviromental hypoxia causes a reflex-mediated increased ventilation, followed by the increase of the muscle sympatic activity, aiming to maintain tissue oxygen homeostatis, as well as glucosae, homeostatis. Besides that, peripheral chemoreceptors interact with central chemoreceptors. responsible for carbon dioxide changes . and they are able to modulate each other. Chemoreceptor function in pathophysiological conditions. Investigations of respiratory function in many pathological processes, such as hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea, congestive heart failure and many other diseases that are presented with enhanced peripheral chemosensitivity and impaired functional sy mpatholysis ultimately determine the peripheral chemorcceptor role and significance of peripheral chemoreceptors in the process of those pathological conditions development. Considering this, the presumed influence of peripheral chemoreceptors is important in patients having the above mentioned pathology.
Conclusion: The importance and the role of peripheral chemoreceptors in the course of the breathing control is still controversial, despite many scientific attempts to solve this problem. The main objective of this review is to give the latest data on the peripheral chemoreceptor role and to highlight the importance of peripheral chemoreceptors for maintaining of oxygen homeostasis in pateints with hypoxia caused by either physiological or pathological conditions.

Taste bud cells in the tongue transduce taste information from chemicals in food and transmit this information to gustatory neurons in the geniculate ganglion that innervate taste buds. The peripheral taste system is a dynamic environment where taste bud cells are continuously replaced, but further understanding of this phenomenon has been limited by the inability to directly observe this process. To overcome this challenge, we combined chronic in vivo two-photon laser scanning microscopy with genetic labeling of gustatory neurons and taste buds to observe how cells within the taste bud change over time.

The cardiorespiratory and metabolic response to exercise has been associated with meeting the organism's metabolic demands during physical exertion. Of note, an incremental exercise is characterized by i) cardiodynamic phase related to cardiac output enhancement mainly determined by a positive chronotropic response, ii) ventilatory threshold one, associated with a significant contribution of cardiovascular and pulmonary ventilation, and iii) ventilatory threshold two, correlated with a tremendous increase in breathing and metabolic responses to exercise. Notably, it has been shown that the ventilatory response to exercise increases concomitantly with the release and accumulation of metabolites (i.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how spinal cord injury (SCI) impacts the body's ability to control heart and blood vessels, leading to cardiovascular diseases (CVD) due to loss of medullary control.
- It explores acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) as a potential treatment to stimulate sympathetic nerve activity and promote neuroplastic changes called long-term facilitation (LTF) in the sympathetic circuits after SCI.
- Results show that a single session of AIH can effectively boost sympathetic nerve activity in a rat model of SCI, opening possibilities for chronic AIH treatment to manage complications from sympathetic hypoactivity.

Background: Taste buds' innervation is necessary to sustain their cell turnover, differentiated taste buds and nerve fibers in circumvallate papilla (CVP) disappear following glossopharyngeal nerve transection. Normally, taste buds recover to baseline number in about 70 days. Bone marrow stem cell (BM-MSC) derived exosomes or their combination with Zinc chloride are used to assess their potential to speed up the regeneration process of CVP following bilateral deafferentation.

Fetal hypoxemia is ubiquitous during labor and, when severe, is associated with perinatal death and long-term neurodevelopmental disability. Adverse outcomes are highly associated with barriers to care, such that developing countries have a disproportionate burden of perinatal injury. The prevalence of hypoxemia and its link to injury can be obscure, simply because the healthy fetus has robust coordinated defense mechanisms, spearheaded by the peripheral chemoreflex, such that hypoxemia only becomes apparent in the minority of cases associated with stillbirth, severe metabolic acidemia or adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes.
