Central chemoreception is a fundamental homeostatic mechanism and the dysfunction in its regulation, especially during sleep, has been related to several sleep-related respiratory diseases, which are present in an increasingly prevalent way in the current population. Evidence suggests that throughout the sleep-wake cycle there is a variation of central chemoreflex, as well as the predomin…
The central chemoreceptors, which comprise neurons highly sensitive to CO2/pH changes, are critical to the respiratory regulation of acid-base balance, and as a result have an important role in mantaining homeostasis. Evidence suggests there is a diurnal variation of central chemoreflex, and a series of studies have attributed to orexinergic neurons of lateral hypothalamus and area perifo…
Evidence suggests that astrocytes are involved in the control of the central chemoreflex, however in the lateral hypothalamus /perifornical area (LH/PFA), this possible role of astrocytes still remains unexplored. The aim of this study is to investigate the possible excitatory function of astrocytes in LH/PFA in the control of the hypercapnic ventilatory response, in rats during wakefulne…
Evidence suggests the existence of daily variations in control of the central chemoreflex, and the orexinergic neurons of the lateral hypothalamus and the perifornicial area (LH / PFA) have been considered a mediator of the circadian variations in central chemoreflex, but the mechanisms involved are still not well known. We aim to investigate the possible role of glutamatergic neurotransm…
Central chemoreception is a mechanism performed by the brain which is capable of detecting changes in CO2/pH levels and promoting corrections of these parameters through adjustments in lung ventilation. There are many putative chemosensitive sites, including the Lateral Hypothalamus/Peripheral Area (LH/PFA). The chemosensitive function of this region has been attributed to orexinergic neu…

Central chemoreception is an essential mechanism for detecting extracellular levels of CO2/H+ and triggering appropriate pulmonary ventilatory responses to correct these parameters. Chemosensitive neurons are located in many regions of the brain, and one of these areas is presumably the lateral hypothalamus (LH). The chemosensitive activity of this region has been attributed to orexinergi…
