Physiological and pathological responses to hypoxia

Abstract

As the average age in many countries steadily rises, heart infarction, stroke, and cancer become the most common causes of death in the 21st century. The causes of these disorders are many and varied and include genetic predisposition and environmental influences, but they all share a common feature in that limitation of oxygen availability participates in the development of these pathological conditions. However, cells and organisms are able to trigger an adaptive response to hypoxic conditions that is aimed to help them to cope with these threatening conditions. This review provides a description of several systems able to sense oxygen concentration and of the responses they initiate both in the acute and also in long-term hypoxia adaptation. The role of hypoxia in three pathological conditions, myocardial and cerebral ischemia as well as tumorigenesis, is briefly discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
