Exposure to cyclic intermittent hypoxia increases expression of functional NMDA receptors in the rat carotid body

Although large quantities of glutamate are found in the carotid body, to date this excitatory neurotransmitter has not been assigned a role in chemoreception. To examine the possibility that glutamate and its N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors play a role in acclimatization after exposure to cycl...
