Arterial Chemoreceptors: Mal(adaptive) Responses: O2 Dependent and Independent Mechanisms (Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology, 1427) (EPUB)

This book, written by Sílvia V. Conde, Rodrigo Iturriaga, Rodrigo del Rio, Estelle Gauda, and Emília C. Monteiro, contains reviews and brief research articles from the International Society for Arterial Chemoreception (ISAC) meeting, to be held in Lisbon, Portugal in June/July 2020. The book covers a broad range of topics related to the fundamental knowledge of mechanisms related to chemical sensing in the carotid body, as well as their impact on respiratory, cardiovascular, and metabolic homeostasis in healthy and disease conditions.

ISAC has been in operation for almost 70 years, and many advances have been achieved in the classical field of arterial O2, CO2, and pH sensing since its establishment. The book discusses the recent carotid body field findings, indicating that carotid body dysfunction is associated with the development/maintenance of highly prevalent diseases from cardio-metabolic diseases to asthma. The book is a valuable reference source for all researchers in the field of arterial chemoreceptors and will provide new pathophysiological mechanisms for the development of new therapeutic targets for treatment and prevention of the aforementioned chronic diseases.
