Does chronic intermittent hypobaric hypoxia ameliorate diabetic nephropathy through enhancing HIF1 signaling in rats?
These data demonstrated for the first time that CIHH had protective effects against the early stage damage of diabetic nephropathy through activating HIF1 signaling, improving anti-oxidation and inhibiting TGF-β1 signaling in diabetic rats.
These findings indicate that light accelerates the depletion of retinoids from the retina and the accompanying photoreceptor cell degeneration.
