Popis: Summary: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important signaling molecules for physiologic processes such as acute response to hypoxia. However, reliable real-time ROS measurement in cells has been a long-standing methodological challenge. Here, we present a protocol to record acute changes in ROS production in sensory cells from mouse carotid body (CB) slices using redox-sensitive green fluorescent protein probes and microfluorimetry. This protocol provides sensitive and reproducible quantification of ROS during acute hypoxia in different subcellular compartments of CB glomus cells.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Fernández-Agüera et al. (2015) and Arias-Mayenco et al. (2018).
