Intermittent Hypoxia Induces Autophagy to Protect Cardiomyocytes From Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Apoptosis

Intermittent hypoxia (IH), characterized as cyclic episodes of short-period hypoxia followed by normoxia, occurs in many physiological and pathophysiological conditions such as pregnancy, athlete, obstructive sleep apnea, and asthma. Hypoxia can induce autophagy, which is activated in response to pr...
