Differential gene expression of cytochrome P450 11beta-hydroxylase in rat adrenal cortex after in vivo activation.

abstract：:Hypoxia and biological responses to hypoxia are commonly encountered in both normal and pathologic cellular processes. Here we report that extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD) plays a major role in regulating the magnitude of hypoxia-induced erythropoietin (Epo) gene expression, thus implicating superoxide as a...
