• Abstract

  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…

  The role of melanin concentrator hormone (MCH) in the lateral hypothalamus/perifornical area (LH/PFA) and locus coeruleus (LC) in the ventilatory response to hypercapnia in rats during wakefulness and sleep, BP.MS

• Abstract

  Evidence suggests the existence of daily variations in control of the central chemoreflex, and a series of studies have attributed to orexinergic neurons of lateral hypothalamus and perifornical area (LH/PFA) the role of circadian modulator of the central chemosensitivity, but the mechanisms involved have not been elucidated so far. This project aims to investigate the possible role of ad…

  Role of adenosine and A1 receptors in the lateral hypothalamus and perifornical area (LHA / PFA) in daily variations of the hypercapnic ventilatory response, BP.IC

• Abstract

  Introduction: Evidence suggests the existence of daily variations of the control of the hypercapnic chemoreflex, and has been assigned to orexinergic neurons in the Lateral Hypothalamus and Perifornicial Area (LH / PFA) the role of mediator of the circadian variations in central chemosensitive function, but the mechanisms involved are not well known. Recent results from our group suggest …
