Abstract excerpt
We used genetically engineered D(2) receptor-deficient [D(2)-(-/-)] and wild-type [D(2)-(+/+)] mice to test the hypothesis that dopamine D(2) receptors modulate the ventilatory response to acute hypoxia [hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR)] and hypercapnia [hypercapnic ventilatory response (HCVR)] and time-dependent changes in ventilation during chronic hypoxia. HVR was independent of gender in D(2)-(+/+) mice and...
