In tissues, hypoxia causes local activation of the HIF (hypoxia-induced factor) pathway, which is a sensor of oxygenation levels. "When the amount of oxygen reaching the cells is not sufficient ...

(In addition to describing these signatures, the researchers also noted that each individual cell and/or tissue type had certain genes specific to its own response to hypoxia.) Many of the genes ...

there is little information about impact of transient hypoxia (2–4 h) on adipocytes. During adipose tissue expansion, transient hypoxia may occur as a result of temporary disbalance of oxygen ...

One can have hypoxia in different pathological situations such as during respiratory or cardiac diseases. Your whole body or part of it (tissue hypoxia) may be deprived of the necessary supply of ...

This study aimed to analyze the LDH-specific activity in rat muscle and liver tissue, as well as lactate and glucose levels in blood plasma after intermittent hypobaric hypoxia exposure.

Too much of a good thing, it turns out, is a concept that applies to oxygen. And researchers at the University of California at San Francisco are working on a small molecule, Hypoxystat, that can ...

By adding the stress of hypoxia during ‘aerobic’ or ‘anaerobic’ interval training, it is believed that IHT would potentiate greater performance improvements compared to similar training at sea level.
