Abstract
⺠Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) is a pathogenic factor in sleep apnea syndrome. ⺠We quantified noradrenergic (NE) terminals in trigeminal motor and sensory nuclei. ⺠Rats subjected to CIH had increased NE innervation. ⺠NE terminal sprouting occurred in motor and sensory regions, in pons and medulla. ⺠This may enhance orofacial muscle activity and cardiorespiratory reflexes.
