Abstract excerpt
Despite intensive research, the exact function of TASK potassium channels in central and peripheral chemoreception is still under debate. In this study, we investigated the respiration of unrestrained TASK-3 (TASK-3-/-) and TASK-1/TASK-3 double knockout (TASK-1/3-/-) adult male mice in vivo using a plethysmographic device. Ventilation parameters of TASK-3-/- mice were normal under control condition (21% O2) and...
