Mouse model for noninvasive imaging of HIF prolyl hydroxylase activity: Assessment of an oral agent that stimulates erythropoietin production

Abstract excerpt

Many human diseases are characterized by the development of tissue hypoxia. Inadequate oxygenation can cause cellular dysfunction and death. Tissues use many strategies, including induction of angiogenesis and alterations in metabolism, to survive under hypoxic conditions. The heterodimeric transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) is a master regulator of genes that promote adaptation to hypoxia. HIF...
