1 Both fibroblasts isolated from type 2 diabetic patients, and normal fibroblasts exposed chronically to high glucose, were defective in their capacity to up-regulate VEGF in response to hypoxia. Glucose vascular endothelial growth factor A Homo sapiens
2 This resulted from a high glucose-induced decrease in transactivation by the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha), which mediates hypoxia-stimulated VEGF expression. Glucose vascular endothelial growth factor A Homo sapiens
