Adcy3 mutant glomus cells exhibit impaired chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH)–induced augmented Ca2+ response to hypoxia. (A) Examples [Ca2+]i responses of glomus cells to hypoxia (PO2 ∼40 mmHg) in Adcy3+/+ and Adcy3 −/- mice. (B and C) Average (mean ± SEM) and individual data of [Ca2+]i responses to hypoxia in Adcy3+/+ (B) and Adcy3−/- (C) mice. Numbers represent the number of glomus cells from n = 6 mice in each group. ***P < .001; n.s., not significant P > .05 analyzed with Mann-Whitney rank sum test.
