The effect of normobaric hyperoxia on voluntary salt intake was investigated in 20 sham-operated and 11 carotid body-denervated SHR. While in sham-operated SHR the saline intake was enhanced during the whole hyperoxic period, the carotid body-denervated rats showed an increase in salt appetite only on the second and third day of hyperoxia. Water intake was not significantly different in sham-operated and carotid body-denervated SHR. These findings, together with our previous results, suggest that chemoreceptor activity determines salt appetite but not water intake in SHR.

D002344 Carotid Body A small cluster of chemoreceptive and supporting cells located near the bifurcation of the internal carotid artery. The carotid body, which is richly supplied with fenestrated capillaries, senses the pH, carbon dioxide, and oxygen concentrations in the blood and plays a crucial role in their homeostatic control. Glomus Caroticum,Bodies, Carotid,Body, Carotid,Caroticum, Glomus,Carotid Bodies
D002628 Chemoreceptor Cells Cells specialized to detect chemical substances and relay that information centrally in the nervous system. Chemoreceptor cells may monitor external stimuli, as in TASTE and OLFACTION, or internal stimuli, such as the concentrations of OXYGEN and CARBON DIOXIDE in the blood.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D001066 Appetite Natural recurring desire for food. Alterations may be induced by APPETITE DEPRESSANTS or APPETITE STIMULANTS. Appetite Alterations,Alteration, Appetite,Alterations, Appetite,Appetite Alteration,Appetites
