HIF1A and myocardial ischemia: Accumulation of HIF‐1α induced by DMOG seems to protect tissue against myocardial ischemia injury within 3 hr (Zhao et al., 2010) and then to induce angiogenesis in ischemic skeletal muscles of mice after several days (Milkiewicz et al., 2004) or in human critical limb ischemia over 2 weeks (Ho et al., 2006).
