Hypothyroidism Stimulates D(2) Receptor-mediated Breathing in Response to Acute Hypoxia and alters D(2) Receptors Levels in Carotid Bodies & Brain

Hypothyroidism can depress breathing and alter dopamine D2 receptor expression and function. We hypothesized that relative to euthyroid hamsters (EH), hypothyroid hamsters (HH) contain increased D2 receptors in brain regions associated with breathing and carotid bodies (CB), and that stimulation of...
