Intermittent Hypoxia-Induced Carotid Body Chemosensory Potentiation And Hypertension Are Critically Dependent On Peroxynitrite Formation

Oxidative stress is involved in the development of carotid body (CB) chemosensory potentiation and systemic hypertension induced by chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH), the main feature of obstructive sleep apnea. We tested whether peroxynitrite (ONOO-), a
