abstract：:The adaptation of erythropoietin production to oxygen supply is determined by the abundance of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), a regulation that is induced by a prolyl hydroxylase. To identify cells that express HIF subunits (HIF-1alpha and HIF-2alpha) and erythropoietin, we treated Sprague-Dawley rats with the prolyl...
