Gap junction and tissue invasion: a comparison of tumorigenesis and pregnancy.

abstract：:The kidney has a unique environment that results in relatively low tissue oxygen tension (Po2). However, recent studies have shown that renal hypoxia is more severe during hypertension and may reflect changes in the way O2 is used. The present review summarizes studies that explore the relationship between renal oxyge...
