The CBs respond to circulating insulin to increase heart rate, respiratory rate and blood glucose levels. In humans, this mechanism is not well characterized.engDevelopment of a mixed-meal that impacts carotid-body mediated cardiorespiratory and metabolic parameters - a pilot studyconference object
