  • Title: Oxygen Sensing in Early Life.
    Author: Caravagna C, Seaborn T.
    Journal: Lung; 2016 Oct; 194(5):715-22. PubMed ID: 27306223.
    Abstract:
    From birth, animals should possess functional machinery to appropriately regulate its respiration. This machinery has to detect the available oxygen quantity in order to efficiently modulate breathing movements in accordance with body requirements. The chemosensitivity process responsible for this detection is known to be mainly performed by carotid bodies. However, pulmonary neuroendocrine cells, which are mainly gathered in neuroepithelial bodies, also present the capability to exert chemosensitivity. The goal of this article is to put in perspective the potential complementarity in the activity of these two peripheral chemosensors in the context of neonatal oxygen chemosensitivity.
