In preclinical respiratory studies, traditional methods like plethysmography often require animal restraint and extensive acclimation, limiting their ability to capture dynamic respiratory changes. ...
Despite international treaties, the use of chemical weapons remains a concern nowadays. Organophosphorus-nerve agents (OPs) act by inhibiting cholinesterases (ChE), preventing the degradation of some neurotransmitters. Their excessive accumulation can impair neuronal transmission, leading to cholinergic syndrome, which can cause symptoms such as respiratory failure and, in severe cases, death. ...
The experimental setup of the cardiopulmonary portion involved the implantation of emka easyTEL-S-ETA telemetry sensors for electrocardiography (ECG) recordings, enabling the monitoring of heart rate in freely moving mice expressing ChR2 (a light-sensitive protein) in the PPN or vlPAG (ventrolateral periaqueductal gray). emka & SCIREQ whole-body plethysmography (WBP), ...
Combining implantable telemetry with whole body plethysmography offers a powerful approach that provides researchers with an in-depth understanding of respiratory patterns and mechanisms. ...
Renata Marchette working within the National Institute on Drug Abuse Intramural Research Program provides a model example of the how plethysmography can be used to assess ventilatory behavior changes that occur with opioid administration. ...
