muscimol and Hypercapnia

muscimol has been researched along with Hypercapnia in 15 studies

Muscimol: A neurotoxic isoxazole isolated from species of AMANITA. It is obtained by decarboxylation of IBOTENIC ACID. Muscimol is a potent agonist of GABA-A RECEPTORS and is used mainly as an experimental tool in animal and tissue studies.
muscimol : A member of the class of isoxazoles that is 1,2-oxazol-3(2H)-one substituted by an aminomethyl group at position 5. It has been isolated from mushrooms of the genus Amanita.

Hypercapnia: A clinical manifestation of abnormal increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in arterial blood.

" Bilateral inhibition of the RTN neurons with the GABA(A) agonist muscimol (100 pmol in 50 nl) reduced resting ventilation (52 ± 34, versus saline, 250 ± 56 ml min(-1) kg(-1) with absolute values) and attenuated the respiratory response to hypercapnia and hypoxia."3.79Control of breathing and blood pressure by parafacial neurons in conscious rats. ( Colombari, E; De Paula, PM; Menani, JV; Moreira, TS; Takakura, AC, 2013)
" In the present study, we investigated the cardiorespiratory responses to hypoxia or hypercapnia in anesthetized and conscious rats treated with injections of the GABA-A agonist muscimol into the caudal portion of the commNTS."3.77Chemosensory control by commissural nucleus of the solitary tract in rats. ( Colombari, E; de Paula, PM; Favero, MT; Menani, JV; Moreira, TS; Takakura, AC, 2011)
" We measured mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA), and phrenic nerve activity (PNA) before and after blocking neurotransmission within the PVN by bilateral microinjection of 2% lidocaine (100 nl) during specific stimulation of peripheral chemoreceptors by potassium cyanide (KCN, 75 microg/kg iv, bolus dose) or stimulation of central chemoreceptors with hypercapnia (10% CO(2))."3.73Differential role of the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus in modulating the sympathoexcitatory component of peripheral and central chemoreflexes. ( Patel, KP; Reddy, MK; Schultz, HD, 2005)
"We hypothesized that inhibition of the rostral medullary raphe region (MRR), a putative central chemoreceptor location, with the GABA(A) receptor agonist muscimol would decrease ventilatory responses to hypercapnia and hypoxia in conscious rats, and that its known effect at this site on body temperature might alter its effect upon these ventilatory responses."3.73Ventilatory effects of muscimol microdialysis into the rostral medullary raphé region of conscious rats. ( Li, A; Nattie, EE; Taylor, NC, 2006)
" In urethane-chloralose-anaesthetized rats, bilateral inhibition of the RTN with muscimol eliminated the phrenic nerve discharge (PND) at rest, during hyperoxic hypercapnia (10% CO(2)), and during peripheral chemoreceptor stimulation (hypoxia and/or i."3.73Peripheral chemoreceptor inputs to retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN) CO2-sensitive neurons in rats.
