The long evolution of the Antarctic perciform suborder of Notothenioidei in the icy, oxygen-rich waters of the Southern Ocean may have reduced selective pressure to maintain a hypoxic response. To test this hypothesis, cDNA of the key transcriptional regulator of hypoxic genes, hypoxia-inducible
Treatment of mice by a combination of succinic and glutamic acids prevented the metabolic disorders in the liver under conditions of normobaric hypoxia. In addition, the activity of the mitochondrial fast metabolic cluster remained intact and lipid peroxidation was limited.
A former study indicated that hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy in rat sustained during early postnatal life may result in permanent epileptic activity in the baseline electroencephalogram. We, therefore, investigated whether the presumed higher firing frequency and metabolic activity of neurons in
Intermittent hypoxia (IH) associated with sleep apnea leads to cardio-respiratory morbidities. Previous studies have shown that IH alters the synthesis of neurotransmitters including catecholamines and neuropeptides in brainstem regions associated with regulation of cardio-respiratory functions.
Tumor microenvironment-responsive nano drug delivery vehicles are gaining mounting attention in the field of biomedical sciences. The hypoxic response of the tumorous cells due to very low partial pressure of oxygen (some time less than 2.5 mm of Hg) in the tumor tissues makes hypoxia-responsive
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the main neurotransmitter of inhibitory synaptic transmission, which is critical for oscillatory activity and synchronization of neurons in neural networks. GABA is synthesized by glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) enzymes in the inhibitory neuron and, thus, the
