<p>The present invention relates to a method for conserving cellular adaptive responses to hypoxia in a mammalian host (e.g., human) comprising administering to the host in need thereof an effective amount of hypothalamic inhibitory factor (HIF). The present invention also relates to a method for treating hypoxia in a mammalian host comprising administering to the host in need thereof an effective amount of HIF. In addition, the present invention can be used to treat or prevent hypoxia insult. Also encompassed by the present invention is a method for conserving adenosine triphosphate in a mammalian cell comprising introducing an effective amount of HIF to the cell (e.g., a brain cell, a cardiac cell, a renal cell).</p> |
