xviii, 633 pages : 25 cm, This book presents up to date major aspects of the chemoreceptor pathway from molecular and cellular signaling processes in the carotid body and other oxygen-sensing structures to central integration of chemosensory inputs and systemic implications. Because sustained changes in oxygen homeostasis are able to induce morphofunctional remodeling, which remains poorly understood but may provide further ways of research in physiology and pathophysiology, two sessions were devoted to the mechanisms involved in the processes of plasticity induced by long-term or intermittent hypoxia during the perinatal period or at adulthood, Includes bibliographical references and index, O₂ and CO₂ sensing mechanisms in the peripheral arterial chemoreceptors: membrane properties, intracellular metabolic and genomic events -- O₂ and CO₂ sensing mechanisms in airway chemoreceptors, pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells and other oxygen-sensing systems: membrane properties, intracellular metabolic and genomic events -- Mechanisms of communication between chemosensory cells and chemoafferent fibers -- Brainstem O₂ and CO₂ sensing: central integration of peripheral chemosensory inputs -- Plasticity of chemosensitivity processes during development: transition at birth and delayed effects -- Plasticity of chemosensitive processes: acclimization to intermittent versus chronic hypoxia in adult
