Hypoxia and neurodegenerationChris Peers
Faculties of Medicine, University of Leeds, Leeds, United Kingdom
Ann N Y Acad Sci 1177:169-77. 2009..However, it remains to be determined whether inhibition of one or more of the effects of hypoxia may be of benefit in arresting the development of this neurodegenerative disease...
