Study reveals distinct roles of oxygen-sensing proteins in skeletal muscles
Researchers at Chonnam National University have identified specific roles for oxygen-sensing proteins within skeletal muscles. These proteins are critical for muscle function during high-intensity exercise and periods of low oxygen availability.
