Human VEGF gene expression in skeletal muscle: effect of acute normoxic and hypoxic exercise
1 Dec 1999
Abstract excerpt
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is involved in extracellular matrix changes and endothelial cell proliferation, both of which are precursors to new capillary growth. Angiogenesis is a vital adaptation to exercise training, and the exercise-induced reduction in intracellular PO2 has been proposed as a stimulus for this process. Thus we studied muscle cell PO2 [myoglobin PO2 (MbPO2)] during exercise in...
