The interaction between central and peripheral chemoreceptors is controversial, and few studies have investigated this interaction in awake, healthy humans, owing, in part, to methodological challenges. We investigated the interaction between the central and peripheral chemoreceptors in healthy humans using a transient hypoxia test (three consecutive breaths of 100% N<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>; TT\u2010HVR), which targets the temporal domain and stimulus specificity of the peripheral chemoreceptors. The TT\u2010HVRs were superimposed upon three randomized background levels of steady\u2010state inspired fraction of normoxic CO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>(; 0, 0.02 and 0.04). Chemostimuli [calculated oxygen saturation ()] and respiratory variable responses [respiratory rate (R<jats:sub>R<\/jats:sub>), inspired tidal volume (<jats:italic>V<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>TI<\/jats:sub>) and ventilation ()] were averaged from all three TT\u2010HVR trials at each  level. Responses were assessed as: (1) a change (\u2206) from baseline; and (2) indexed against . Aside from a significantly lower \u2206<jats:italic>V<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>TI<\/jats:sub> response in 0.04  (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.01), the hypoxic rate responses (\u2206R<jats:sub>R<\/jats:sub> or \u2206R<jats:sub>R<\/jats:sub>\/; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.46 and <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.81), hypoxic tidal volume response (; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.08) and the hypoxic ventilatory responses ( and ; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.09 and <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.31) were not significantly different across  trials.
