The word
"hypoxic" means a condition in which a person or an animal is not getting enough oxygen in their body.
Full definition

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.
In addition, temporal [17] and spatial [16,17] correlations between increased levels of HIF - 1α, the regulatory subunit of HIF - 1, and increased VEGF expression have been shown, indicating that HIF - 1 may control the expression of VEGF in the retina under

In order to overcome these problems, Dr. Kizaka - Kondoh and his colleagues at Tokyo Institute of Technology developed a novel, highly - specific, functional imaging probe that can detect
hypoxic tumours with HIF activity, which is a hallmark of malignancy and poor prognosis.
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.
However, in order to come close to achieving a reduced
target hypoxic zone of 5,000 square kilometers (1930.5 square miles) by 2050, nitrogen levels would have to be brought to zero — a scenario that the researchers note in their paper is «not only considered unrealistic, but also inherently unsustainable.»
