Why the study?
Does hyperoxia alter the counterregulatory response to hypoglycaemia in patients with bilateral carotid body resection?
Does hyperoxia alter the counterregulatory response to hypoglycaemia in patients with bilateral carotid body resection?
The effect of hyperoxia on hypoglycaemic counterregulation is mediated by the carotid bodies, but redundant mechanisms maintain normal counterregulatory responses in carotid body-resected patients.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Hyperoxia does not alter counterregulation in carotid body-resected patients; confirms carotid body mediation with redundant compensatory mechanisms.
Wehrwein et al. (2014) studied this question.
