Intermittent hypoxia increased the expression of ESM1 and ICAM-1 in vascular endothelial cells via the downregulation of microRNA-181a1.

Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) exposes cells throughout the body to intermittent hypoxia (IH). Intermittent hypoxia is a risk factor not only for hypertension and insulin resistance but also for vascular dysfunction. We have reported correlations between IH, insulin resistance and hypertension.

Downregulation of the Cd38-Cyclic ADP-Ribose Signaling in Cardiomyocytes by Intermittent Hypoxia via Pten Upregulation.

Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) is characterized by recurrent episodes of oxygen desaturation and reoxygenation (intermittent hypoxia, IH), and it is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and insulin resistance/type 2 diabetes. However, the mechanisms linking IH stress and CVD remain elusive. We exposed rat H9c2 and mouse P19.

Intermittent Hypoxia Increased the Expression of DBH and PNMT in Neuroblastoma Cells via MicroRNA-375-Mediated Mechanism.

Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS), characterized by recurrent episodes of oxygen desaturation and reoxygenation (intermittent hypoxia (IH)), is a risk factor for hypertension and insulin resistance. We report a correlation between IH and insulin resistance/diabetes. However, the reason why hypertension is induced by IH is elusive.
