Melanocortin system activates carotid body arterial chemoreceptors in hypertension

2024-07-25

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> The body’s internal milieu is controlled by a system of interoceptors coupled to motor outflows that drive compensatory adaptive responses. These include the arterial chemoreceptors, best known for sensing arterial oxygen.
