Hypoxia Induces Apoptosis through HIF-1α Signaling Pathway in Human Uterosacral Ligaments of Pelvic Organ Prolapse

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in women uterosacral ligament tissues with pelvic organ prolapse and women with normal uterine support structures and illuminate its relationship with apoptosis. Samples were collected from 38 women with...
