Going with the respiratory flow: The carotid body mediates human ventilatory acclimatization during high‐altitude sojourn

Puntos clave

• This research aims to determine how the carotid body influences ventilatory acclimatization during high altitude.
• Investigated ventilatory responses to oxygen levels in high-altitude conditions.
• Utilized controlled exposure to simulate high-altitude environments.
• Significant increase in ventilatory capacity observed with high-altitude exposure, indicating improved oxygen uptake.
• Findings suggest a key role of the carotid body in enhancing respiratory adjustments.
