Hypoxia is common in tissues

Modern medical research indicates that approximately 80% of the population experiences symptoms of hypoxia. Environmental pollution, prolonged indoor work, and lack of exercise can all contribute to hypoxia. University of Texas researchers Marco, Brotto, and others have discovered that hypoxia may promote cancer cell growth in people with the HOTAIR gene. Non-coding RNAs are a newly discovered class of RNA molecules that are key regulators of cancer development. The researchers' paper demonstrates a close link between hypoxia and the HOTAIR gene. Brotto stated that these findings may have significant implications. The risk of various cancers increases significantly with aging, and the body also becomes increasingly hypoxic with aging, primarily due to a decrease in respiratory capacity. This means that less oxygen is entering the body for circulation.


Hypoxia is closely related to the following diseases
Disease and sub-health leading to tissue hypoxia

cardiovascular disease 、Obesity, snoring (sleep apnea)、Chronic infection、Solid tumor lesions are prone to hypoxia、Air pollution, smoking、The oxygen partial pressure in the plateau environment is too low, causing systemic hypoxia、Lung disease
