Moderate hyperoxia induces inflammation, apoptosis and necrosis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells: An in-vitro study

CONCLUSION: Continuous moderate hyperoxia and cyclic moderate hyperoxia/anoxia-induced endothelial inflammation, apoptosis and necrosis. Given the large surface area of the vascular endothelium, moderately elevated O2 levels may contribute to cardiovascular inflammation and injury. TRIAL REGISTRATION: This in-vitro study was not registered in a database.
