SRC-3 Knockout Attenuates Myocardial Injury Induced by Chronic Intermittent Hypoxia in Mice

This study investigated the effects of chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH), a model of sleep apnea syndrome (SAS), on cardiac function. SRC-3 was extremely lowly expressed in the adult mouse heart tissue, while SRC-3 was highly expressed in the adult mouse heart tissue after CIH, suggesting that SRC-...
