Hyperoxia exposure impairs nephrogenesis in the neonatal rat: role of HIF-1α.

Preterm neonates are exposed at birth to high oxygen concentrations relative to the intrauterine environment. We have previously shown in a rat model that a hyperoxic insult results in a reduced nephron number in adulthood. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effects of transient n...
