We found significantly elevated expression of HK isoforms (HK1 and HK2) in left ventricular myocardium of rats adapted to severe intermittent hypoxia. Hypoxia also increased the total HK activity and the association of HK isoforms with mitochondria in both ventricles. These findings suggest that HK may contribute to the cardioprotective phenotype induced by adaptation to intermittent hypoxia
