Moderate hypoxia induces β-cell dysfunction with HIF-1-independent gene expression changes.
Pancreatic β-cell failure is central to the development and progression of type 2 diabetes. We recently demonstrated that β-cells become hypoxic under high glucose conditions due to increased oxygen consumption and that the pancreatic islets of diabetic mice but not those of control mice are moderat...
