Background: In humans and other animals, the chronic hypoxic response is mediated by hypoxia inducible transcription factors (HIFs) which regulate the expression of genes that …
Metazoan life is dependent upon the utilization of O 2 for proper cellular metabolism and energy production. Low levels of oxygen, or hypoxia, at the tissue level can occur due to …
The human oxygen sensing cycle characterizes the physiological regulation and detection of oxygen levels in mammals. It is now well-established that a relationship between the …
