Among these, hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), glucose transporter 1 (GLUT-1), and GLUT-4 stand out as significant protein complexes that promote cardiomyocyte survival and prevent vasculitis, a critical aspect of overall cardiovascular health. This evidence concerns the gene HMOX1 and vasculitis.
