We investigated the direct effects of hypoxia and resveratrol on SIRT1/ peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor‐gamma coactivator 1α (PGC‐1α) pathways, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), hypoxia‐inducible factor (HIF)‐1α, and mitochondrial quantity in a steroidogenic human ovarian granulosa‐like tumor cell line (KGN) cells. The gene discussed is HIF1A; the disease is neoplasm.
