Key result
Exposure to 3 weeks of chronic hypoxia induced significant angiogenesis in CD1 (88%), C57Bl/6 (48%), and 129/Sv (41%) mice, but only 12% in Balb/c mice, highlighting strain-dependent responses.

Extends rodent hypoxia models to multiple mouse strains; hypothesis-generating for human angiogenesis with no direct clinical translation.
Genetic heterogeneity significantly influences hypoxia-induced angiogenesis and the regulation of angiogenic proteins in mice, which must be accounted for when designing and interpreting in vivo models.
Ward et al. (2007) studied Hypoxia. 10% oxygen (chronic hypoxia) was evaluated on Angiogenesis. Exposure to 3 weeks of chronic hypoxia induced significant angiogenesis in CD1 (88%), C57Bl/6 (48%), and 129/Sv (41%) mice, but only 12% in Balb/c mice, highlighting strain-dependent responses.
