Exacerbated ATP transmission in the carotid body is linked to glomus cell expansion in spontaneously hypertensive rats

{{output}}
ATP acting on P2X3 receptors contributes to carotid body (CB) hyperexcitability in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). We investigated whether this reflects altered ATP release and/or impaired ATP metabolism. Using in vitro CB preparations, we quantified A... ...
