| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We hypothesized that TRPA1 detect oxygen concentration in inspired gas and respiratory regulation, as early alarm system. We revealed that pathway trough TRPA1 contribute to arousal from sleep and respiratory activation, as a defensive response to hypoxia. Pathway trough TRPA1 suggested to locate on the trigeminal nerve in nasal cavity. This defense response is more important in mild hypoxia than severe hypoxia. We concluded TRPA1 is an early alarm system for hypoxia in airway.
