Interestingly, Rho kinase inhibition under hypoxic conditions produced a more effective increase in chondrocyte - specific gene expression and synthesis of extracellular matrix components by HCS - 2 / 8 cells. (umu.diva-portal.org)
However, the offspring of these adults, when reared in hypoxic conditions showed less ability to regulate their oxygen uptake and were significantly smaller than those of normoxic parents, potentially because they were having to expend more energy simply to survive in those conditions.

Higher CH4 emission is likely explained by a higher supply of organic matter under more hypoxic conditions, where CH4 oxidation is less likely to occur. (journals.plos.org)
