Preface Oxygen is an essential molecule that serves as an enzyme substrate in bioenergetics and metabolic reactions. Adaptation to oxygen deprivation—hypoxia—is a critical process in development, physiology, and pathophysiology. This volume offers a comprehensive coverage of step-by-step lab protocols that are widely used and those that are developed more recently for studying hypoxic responses in physiology and diseases. All the protocols contain extensive detail intended to help competent scientists in the field of biomedical sciences carry out unfamiliar molecular biology techniques successfully by simply following the detailed procedures. Practical notes are explained in greater detail for additional help. Methods included range from the application of hypoxic conditions t
